cease the weeping in thinking of the
long bright day of eternity, when we

Gone the sunshine of our home,
flushed the sound of those little feet,
And the voice that to our ears,
Always seemed to us so sweet.
Would we wish our darling back2
No she's safe with Jesus now,
Happy with the angels there,
Where she'll uever suffer more.
