Willie thou art gone to rest;
Thine is an early tomb;
But Jesus summoned thee away,
Thy Savior called the home.
Thy tolls and cares are DER,
And sorrow, pain and suffering now
Shall ne'er distress thee more;
Thy sins forgiven,
And saints in light have welcomed thee
To share the joys of Heaven.
Willie thou art gone to rest,
And this shall be our prayer
That when we reach our journeys end
Thy glory we may share. A. s.
