MAY YOUR LIFE IN THIS WORLD
Be a happy one
May the sun be warm and
May the skies be blue
And may each storm that comes your way
Clear the air for a brighter day
May the saints and Saviour watch over you
As you make your way
Through this old world of ours
As you see the beauty of
The morning dew
As you smell those summer flowers
As you pass away the hours
May the saints and Saviour watch over you
As you spend your time
With your friends and your family
As you see the warmth and love they have for you
As you see the wars and hate
That others radiate
May the Saints and Saviour watch over you
Sammy Horner
