LyicsHow painfully pleasing the fond recollection,
Of youthful connection and innocent joy;
When blest with parental advice and affection,
Surrounded with mercy and peace from on high!
And the richest of books that excelled every other,
The Family Bible that lay on the stand.
I still view the seats of my Father and Mother,
And those of their offspring as ranged on each hand;
The old-fashioned Bible! the dear blessed Bible!
The family Bible that lay on the stand.
