IN MEMORIAM THE BLESSINGS THAT REMAIN There are loved ones who are miss- ing From the fireside and the feast; There are faces that have vanished, There are voices that have ceased. But we know they passed forever From our mortal grief and pain, And we thank thee, O our Father, For the blessings that remain. Thanksgiving, oh, Thanksgiving, That their love once blessed us here, That so long they walked beside us, Sharing every smile and tear. For the joy the past has brought us But can never take away, For the sweet and gracious mem- ories * Growing dearer every day. For the faith that keeps us patient, Looking at things unseen, Knowing spring shall follow winter And the earth again be green. For the hope of that glad meeting Far from mortal grief and pain, ‘We thank Thee, O our Father, For the blessings that remain. —ANN JOHNSON FLINT.
