To this end

(written by Grethe Voigt on the birth of her second daughter)

God's greatest work of art
Has come to bless our home;
In our auburn-haired Ruby, 8 lb. 4 oz.
Already she's half grown.

'Twas on March 29th
At 9:34 at night;
When our loving blue-eyed doll
Was anxious to see the light.

Ruby means contentment.
Her father named her well
For this she is when fed and dry.
Will she always be so swell?

Our Jennifer - now nigh 2 1/2,
Is thrilled as she can be.
When Ruby cries, her tears flow too,
In heartfelt sympathy.

We pray the precious baby
God has placed within our care,
Will grow up to love and serve Him.
To this end we request your prayer
