Our dear little Valentine has left US.
He's gone with the angel of love,
Where he never more can suffer,
In the heavenly home above.
Oh, we hope to meet our loved one
On the bright and sunny shore,
Where there is no more parting,
And death can come no more.
Our hearts are sad Without him.
Dear one that God had given.
The flower that budded here below,
Is blooming now in heaven.
Oh. how sweet will be the meeting.
And his angel smile of love
When we meet our precious darling
At the golden gate above.
Yes, the earthly light is fleeting,
For our home is not below.
Soon our SAVIOUR will be calling US.
We must prepare to go.
There We'll never more be severed,
There We'll sleep on Jesus breast.
And with our heavenly father
We'll be forever blest.
