WE SHALL MEET HER UP THERE
FRIEEDs or THE c. c.: Death has entered f,,,
home Of 9. G. iavorite and left I.oreDa n k,far,
son mOtlerless. IL is sad 70 part with our Friends
but we have the assurance that we shall me-
again never 10 part more.
Again have the gates in the regions flight
Been opened to call a soul home
And mothers sweet spirit has taken its flight
To the land where no sorrow e'er come.
Again has the heart OF a husband been wrung
And the hearts Of children made sad,
BY the death OF q mother SO kind and so true
Whose presence their hearts had made glad
Though sad is the hearth that we now gathe
And vacant Is ever her chair
Still promises sweet bring balm for orr yvo,Dd
To know we shall meet her up there
