"Two on Earth & Two in Heaven." Music by J. P. Webster. Accurezzerole, con Abbandono. Voice Piano 1. Two on earth, their little feet, Glance like sunbeams round the door;


Two in Heaven whose lips re--peat Words of Blessing ev--er-- --more Two on earth, at shut of day, Soft--ly sink to cradled rest; Two in Heaven, more blest than they Slum--her on an angles breast.


2. Two with crowns of budding flowers 3. Oft I gazed with tearful eyes, Dance the summer skies be--neath; Two in heaven's un--fading When the church-yard dai--sies blow; Oft my prayers are on--ly bowers Wear the glo--ry like a wreath. sighs Yearn -- -- in for my chil--dren so.


Two on earth whose merry call Stirs my heart to gladness now; yet I know an an--gel hand Led them home in the tender love; Two in heaven whose kisses fall Through the silence on my brow. Mine is sure a blessed hand, Two on earth and two a --bove.
