The beauteous flowers and meadows green, Are darkened to my view, I cannot see the smiling faces Or the kind friends where I go. In Heaven above, there His light, A light for you and me, A blind man then will have his sight, The glorious light shall see* For Jesus watches over all, In His eternal love, The numerous ways each day he t^kes. To guide us to Heaven above. Come patronize the blind man, friends, It will give him relief, It will keep him from want and wroe, From sorrow and from grief.
