We miss thee, dear brother,
And lonely we are;
Since God has said come,
To the Void that's afar
Home back to mother,
While on Earth he had to stay;
Home. back to mother earth,
Now mouldering meath the clay.
Knowing that death would soon be
his lot,
Thankful for blessings bestowed in
the past,
Patiently he waited, murmuring not,
Praying to God, to receive him at
last
Softly was laid on his bed to rest,
Tenderly was raised up his head to
die;
Trusting our Savior, who doeth all
best,
Will help us to meet him in the
sweet bye and bye.
A BROTHER.
