Description
MY MISSION I live for those who love me Whose hearts are kind and true For the heaven that smiles above me And awaits my spirit too For all human ties that bind me For the task my God assigned me For the bright hopes left behind me And the good that I can do 1 live to learn their story Who suffered for my sake To emulate their glory And follow in their wake liards patriots martyrs sages The noble of all ages Whose deeds crown historys pages And times great volume make 1 live to hold communion With all that is divine To feel there is a union Twixt natures heart and mine To profit by affliction Reap truth from fields of fiction Grow wiser from conviction And fulfil each graud design I live to hail that season By gifted minds foretold When man shall live by reason And not alone by gold When man to man united And every wrong thing righted The whole world shall be lighted As Eden was of old I live for those who love me For those who know me true For the heaven that smiles above me And awaits my spirit
