Fulfill your calling

With courage peerless!

If even falling,

Look upward fearless!

Then there shall clasp thee an angel's hand

And gently lead to thy promised land.

[Pg 36]

Stand firm, with conscience of pure intention,

Through times of trial, of toil and pain!

Then may your happiness meet prevention,

But mind and virtue can peace retain;

Then, in the sod

Though your corpse be buried,

These words of God

On the soul are veried:

"Thou true hast labored till payments' day,

Now, faithful servant, receive thy pay!"

[Pg 37]

To all do justice, and help the needy,

And comfort sorrow, where e'er you can!
