Loved In Life, in Death Remembered.
In memory of our precious little, Mabel F.,
only child of John and Lydia Rogers. Fell
asleep in Jesus August IL, 1894.
Another little lamb has gone
To dwell with with him who gave;
Another darling little babe
Is sheltered in the grave.
God needed one more angel child
Amidst his shining band.
And so he bent with loving smile
And clasped our darling's hand.
Darling Mabel, you have left us,
Left us, yes. forever more;
But we hope to meet dear Mabel
On that bright and happy Shore
Lonely the house and sad the hours.
Since dear little Mabel has gone;
But oh brighter home than ours.
In heaven is now her own.
Lips we pressed with fondest kisses,
Eyes we praised for purest ray,
Underneath the churchyard daisies
We have laid them all away.
Yet we know how safe forever
In that better fold above,
The dear babe for which we sorrow,
ReSteth now in Jesus love.
