IN MEMORY OF OUR SISTER JOSIE.
Dear Josie. you have left us.
In brighter fields to dwell;
Free, free from toll and sorrow,
Where God does all things well.
Where sickness and where partings,
Are never, never known.
Where Christs' our Lords redeemed ones,
Shall dwell before His throne,
To-day our eyes are weeping,
Our lives to-day are sad;
We mourn for thee our loved one,
Our hearts in woe are clad.
But still we do not mourn thee
AS those who have no hope,
For Gods own word assures US,
He will not His forsake.
You early sought the Saviour,
Your heart you gave to Him;
You trusted His salvation
To save your soul from sin.
And walking meekly, humbly,
Your Saviour to obey,
We trust you now re dwelling
In realms of endless day.
And yet how hard to lose you,-
1t seems our all is gone;
We loved you truly, fondly,
But tits Gods will that's done.
Our kind and loving Father,
That only wounds to heal.
Who knoweth every sorrow
His children here must feel.
Then, farewell, dearest Josie,
We would not wish you back
To sickness and to suffering,
Where pain your life would rack.
But we will strive to meet you,
Before the great white throne,
That we may dwell forever,
Where parting is unknown.
Where blending tears of sorrow
From eyes are wiped away;
Where comes no more sad partings.
Where friends will ever stay,
And through endless ages.
Forever, ever more,
Well join the mighty chorus,
| Our Saviour to adore.
