COUNTING all the4 I pi4eibus o ns

For which thegrateful feast l

0 let us notjTprget that chiefAmong our treasures our dead

Let us give thanks that they have livedAnd on our lives such radiance ppured

That with the sunshine of the pastOur later loneliest years are stored

And that removed from logger shareIn those festivals of earth

We feel their living presence stillThe angels of our home and hearth

A light surpassing sun or starA breath more sweet than

flowersThe ministry of souls beloved

Gone hence and yet forever oursD Father let our dearest thanks

Be ihe feast immortal saidThat tidath has set Heavens lamps aflame

And Thou art nearer through our deadFrances L Mace in Christian Work
