The New Summertime. The good New Summertime. We've heard many songs and parodies galore, ! Of the "Good old Summertime," I And really its (Jod given pleasures j are sweet. 'Through profaned in sinful rhy rao, But its pleasures aro poison and bitter its sweets, Its sorrows are "lino upon line" My soul is longing, ob, so rauch For a good Now Summertime I Chorus Oh! The good Now Summertime thc endless Summertime, When I'll walk down tho streets of gold With your Savior and mine! He now holds my hand and I hold his, but then 'twill be joy sublime, To be forever with tho Lord, In a good New Summertime. Here tho storms aro so many, and the thunders so loud, In this earthly summertime, And its hot days are soon fol lowed by winter so cold, And so full of disease is thc clim? But be "who was and is and is to be,, Says in His Word divine, Old things shall pass away and all things become now" So we'll have a new Summertime! Herc dear friends meet to part and hearts oft ache and break When affections prove false and betray, Here our fondest hopes perish and bitter tears flow, I And cold death takes our loved ones away, But God shall wipe away all tears with his own hand so kind! "There'll bo no more sickness, sorrow or death, In the good New Summertime. HANDY FRUIT AND VEGETABLE SLICER The Sensation of the Day in Kitchen Furnishings.
