-. A BUTDUC 5.5 24 23 Em! rm y oUR JOURNEY Calm the water is before us, As on board the ship we gog I-lappy are we and contented, llfe the future do not know. As our ship moves o'er the bayg Green the Water is beneath us, Like the freshness of the springtime, And the innocence of May. Soon our ship has sailed the calm bay, And we meet the ocean wide Right into the waves she takes us, And we feel the great divide. Here we meet with many people From the different walks of lifeg From them choose We our companions, Share with them our joy and strife. Now our thoughts begin to wander, Viewing that vast, restless seag l!Vl1CTC the waves are ever rocking, Sometimes hard-then quietly. Gf all the ships that it has carried. Some have perished spite their toil, Some have sailed from lands of bondage To a happy Freed'om's soil. As we look across the Water, The large waves are rocking 'highg And the storm winds blowing strongly And the surging waves are nigh. Then were filled with fear, Welre treimblin And the sea looks cold and darkg As the angry Waves come sweeping, Almost covering our struggling bark.

.Es t fy Y v J ' ,. a a- lilhgeara ' V 4, in sr. Some are restless, some are worried, Some are ill and children cry, Several call with earnest voices HSave us Captain, or we die. J l'Courage friends oh, do not weaken Though the waves are dark as night, Do not let them overwhelm you, Trust in God and do the right. Thus our aching hearts were soothed, And by morn the storm was o'er, Then we sailed the mighty ocean, Braver, -stronger, than before. That same night the stars were shining In the heavens up above, And below, the sea was peaceful, Wlhile We dreamed 'of home and love. Happy were We on the morrow, VVhen the sun shone bright and clearg And we saw our happy Homeland And the friends we loved so dear. But the greatest one to greet us, Was the King of that dear band, NNith His Holy voice He told us, Thou art welcome to My land. Gladys Gurholt, Collegiate
