Poem Title:
Poem
To gather from toil at the set of sun And meet as one in song and prayer Before the Sabbath then begun Family to family bonded, and sweeter Yet to share a common hope and read The Holy word that makes us yearn That Christ for us now who doth intercede While seal us while the world we spurn So now I remember you, mother, when we In one common room did share The "Home Sweet Home" lamp that made us see The words of hope that melted care O Brenda tell me now, that like Gem You remember Julian and Derrick there A rose that now has fallen from its stem And the voice, the voice I loved to hear. Each sunset calls this memory to shine And stir my soul his promise to keep That we shall worship so with the Divine When mother your rise with us from sleep Like a trumpet his voice shall break the earth And life will come to flesh old crumbled dust The heaven shall resound with ransomed mirth And we shall be delivered because we trust To this bright hope my bondage spirit flies For the years you are gone and sorrow comes To share again the old bonds and family ties And hear sing sweet songs that now love hums To this bright hope my zeal will soon retire In the kingdom where no one will sever And we shall become more that we could desire And love with love will reign in praise forever.
