In Memoriam for John W. Austin
In memory of my dear husband John W. Austin who departed life six months ago July 1916 Call not back the dear departed. Anchored safe where storms are o er One by one we cross the river One by one we ferried o er One by one the crowns are given on the bright celestial shore Youth and childhood aft are passing o er and the white robed angel boatman is the dying Christian's guide One by one we come to Jesus as we heed his gentle voice One by one his vineyard enter There to labor and rejoice One by one sweet flowers we gather in the glorious work of love Garlands for the angel boatman To convey to realms above And the white robed angel boatman Bears them to the realms of love One by one the heavy laden Sink beneath the noontide sun And the angel pilgrim welcomes Evening shadows as they come and we stand upon the shore Waiting till the angel boatman Takes the helm and guides us o er Lands us on the shining shore By His Lovina Wife Mrs Austin.
