WILLIAM M cKINLEY, TWENTY-FIFTH PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. BoRN JANUARY 29, 1843-DIED SEPTEMBER 14, 1901. “IT IS GOD'S WAY—HIS WILL BE DONE.” “Nearer M y God to Thee, Nearer to Thee.” Nearer, m y God, to Thee! Nearer to Thee! E'en though it be a cross that raiseth me; Still a ll my song shall be, Nearer, my God, to Thee! Nearer to Thee! Though, l ike a wanderer, Then, with my waking thoughts The sun gone down, Bright with Thy praise, Darkness be over me, Out of my stony griefs My rest a stone, Bethel I'll raise; Yet in my dreams I'd be So by my woes to be Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee! Nearer to Thee! There 1 et the way appear Or if, on joyful wing Steps unto Heaven; Cleaving the sky, All that Thou sendest me Sun, moon, and stars forgot, In mercy given; Upward I fly; Angels to beckon me Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee! Nearer to Thee. Taylor's L egislative Souvenir Of C onnecticut III:#iffiliiii'. i n limiti him if ill it 1901–1902 PORTRAITSND A SKETCHES OF STATE OFFICIALS, SENATORS, REPRESENTATIVES, ETC.
