It was the 10th of December
A very beautiful day.

Old Age had crept upon Me
I was 88 that day.

I feel that God has kept Me
A mission to fulfill
I feel that blessed impression
Is resting on me still.

I pray that God will strengthen Me
His word once more to speak
And say to all lost sinners,
"It's Jesus you should seek."
