Miss Armistead | ||||||
Sally visited practically all
corners of the earth. Travel was her passion. She visited 49 of 50 states.
Sadly, her health failed before she could complete her goal. She retired in
1988 and returned to Mathews to be with her parents and assist them in
sustaining an excellent quality of life throughout their aging process.
During her years in Mathews, she enjoyed tending to the lovely landscape of
her home. She was an active supporter of Mathews Baptist Church as well as
the county in general. She enjoyed her membership in the Jamestown Society. |

Buckroe!Love to all, Carol

Lead, Kindly Light
Lyrics by John Henry Newman, 1833
Music by John B. Dykes, 1865
Lead, kindly Light, amid th’encircling gloom,
Lead Thou me on!
The night is dark, and I am far from home;
Lead Thou me on!
Keep Thou my feet; I do not ask to see
The distant scene; one step enough for me.
I was not ever thus, nor prayed that Thou
Shouldst lead me on;
I loved to choose and see my path; but now
Lead Thou me on!
I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears,
Pride ruled my will. Remember not past years!
So long Thy power hath blessed me, sure it will,
Will lead me on.
O’er moor and fen, o’er crag and torrent, till
The night is gone,
And with the morn those angel faces smile,
Which I have loved long since, and lost awhile!
Meantime, along the narrow rugged path,
Thyself hast trod,
Lead, Savior, lead me home in childlike faith,
Home to my God.
To rest forever after earthly strife
In the calm light of everlasting life.
