As I looked on the hills beyond me My throbbing heart was filled ·with gratitude and · gladness That ne~er can be stilled. God's stmshine softly whispered To the sunshine of my soul 111 am the symbol of the Light of Glory That will ever and ever unfold". Life's bridges are all before us .And we cross them one by one Let us cross them bearing Love and Service Till that glorious Sunshine is won. ~ i 0- I \ * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *Mrs .
