ARE ALL THE CHILDREN IN?
The darkness falls, the wind is high, Dense blac k c louds fill the western sky, The storm will soon begin; The thunders roar, the lightnings flash, 1 hear the great round raindrops dash— Are all the children in ? i The future days are drawing near, They’ll go from this warm shelter here, Out in the world’s wide din; The rain will fall, the* cold winds blow. I’ll sit alone and long to know Are all the children in? God knows it all; His •dll is best'; I’ll shield them now, and yield the rest In His most righteous hand . Sometimes the souls He loves are riven By tempests wild, and then are driven Nearer the Better Land. i If He should call us home before The children to that blessed shore, Away from care and sin, I know that I shall watch and wait Till He, the Keeper of the Gate, Let all the children in !
