Thou gayest, and we yield to thee
God of the human heart
For bitter though grefs cup may be,
Thou givest but our part.
o, thou canst bid our grief be sted
Yet not rebuke our tears
How large place her presence filed,
How vacant it appears
1" We mourn the sunshine of her smile,
The tendrils Of her love;
Oh, was she loved too well the while
Ere she was called above?
Our chastened spirits bow in prayer
And blend all prayers in one-
Give us the hope to meet her there
When lie's full task is done
