| Full fifty years together | B |
| Father and mother dear | C |
| Through pleasant summer weather | B |

| Thro' sunshine and thro' shadow | D |
| Oft travel sore and tried | E |
| Yet strong to aid each other | B |
| You've journeyed side by side | E |

| A few brief years of climbing | A |
| One glad exultant glance | F |
| At the sun bright world around you | G |
| At the smiling heaven's expanse | F |

| God bless our mother dear | B |
| And a thousand thousand welcomes | N |
| To this fiftieth wedded year | B |
