Kustaborder, Frederick Howard Jr. - 1946

HIS WORK IS FINISHED
Composed and written in memory of Richard H. Hirsch.
by F. H. Kustaborder, Jr.

 

A nicer man you could not find

Who always was so good and kind,

His helping hand he loved to lend

To all and be a loyal friend.

 

His work was cherished by young and old.

Wherever his duty could unfold.

He labored long and labored hard

And for that deserves high regard.

 

The company he so ably manned

To serve the public he always planned

He did his duty and did it well,

As only mortal tongue can tell.

 

The town he loved to call his own

Was where he loved to have his home.

But now he has gone to a lovelier place

And no more will we see his smiling face.

 

For God called him to His home on high

Never more to roam.

That’s His promise in His Holy Word

Of a more and beautiful home.

 

And now if we begin each day with God

And kneel at night with Him in prayer

And do according to His word.

We will meet with Him up there.

GOD'S GUIDANCE
by Fred H. Kustaborder, Jr.

Dear Father who has formed the night
When morning sunshine lights the sky.
When we can see Thy glorious light
That will lead us to the sweet by and by.

And when we reach the midst of day
We stop and pause a moment to pray.
And we know the road ahead is clear
Because we know God is always near.

And in the evening when our work is done
We can turn to Jesus Thy blessed son.
We can go to him with all our sorrow
And know he will guide us through the morrow.

We thank him for guiding us in the past
And know t o put our trust in him that it will last.
God give us joy that we may give
In kind words and deeds that others might live.

Then when we walk the true and tried way
We should take a moment to pray.
Then we can raise up those who go astray
At the close of a perfect day.
