Dearest Josie, how we miss thee
AS the days and weeks go by,
And we hope some day to greet thee
In that land beyond the SKY.
Every day my memory fingers
When | think of thy few years,
And thou passed so quickly from us
Often | find myself in tears.
Yet we know thy weary feet are resting,
That thy work on earth is done
And we hope some day to meet thee
Where pain and sorrow will never come.
Yes, dearest Josie, little maiden,
Every morn think of thee
All day long thou art with me,
Thy memory, dear, is sweet to me.
Yet, dear Savior, thou hast bereft us,
She has passed from Death to Life
But we cannot Lord, forget her
While we tarry in this life.
We know while here we linger,
In the evening time of life,
That we feel our sorrow deeply,
Still we know that all is right
And when we near that lonely river
Well fear no darkness, chill or night,
For we know our Josie darling
Will ho there to hold the li0ht
