A BIRTHDAY GREETING TO MY FATHER, 1860 by FRANCES RIDLEY HAVERGAL

First Line: TIS FULLY KNOWN TO ONE, BY US YET DIMLY SEEN
Last Line: BLESSING, THOU SHALT BE BLESSED.
Subject(s): BLESSINGS;

'TIS fully known to ONE, by us yet dimly seen,
The blessing thou HAST BEEN;
Yet speaks the silent love of many a mourning heart
The blessing that thou ART;
While traced on coming years, in faith and hope we see,
'A blessing thou SHALT BE;'
Then here in holy labor, there in holier rest,
BLESSING, thou SHALT BE BLESSED.
