Dearest Pearl, how much we miss her
| She has left this world of care
| God has called her from her lahors
His bright home above to share
How we louged to keep her with Is,
i 1t seemed We could not let her go,
| Only yo- who've lost some loved one
Can our grief and sorrow know.
Ab. Gods ways are so mysterious
And we cannot understand,
Why so soon he called our darling
To possess the promised land;
But his ways we dare not question.
He has claimed her for His own;
| So We'll say though crushed with sor-
| row,
Blessed Lord, thy will be done"
As she lay upon the pillow
| knowing death was Oh, so near,
Not a murmuring word she uttered;
Jesus banished every fear
Brother. sisters, sorrowing parents
She has only gone before,
Yo1 may all be reunited
Once again on Canaans shore.
Well you know that when she left you
She would hear her Lords well
done
Come, thou faithful Christian war -ior
There's prepared for YOU crow
For through all her pain and sickness
Sang she praises to one God,
Saving Jesus more than conquerers
He this path before has trod.
Just three hours before He called her
Sang and prayed her dear head bowel
Saying Father, IF It's thy will
Take me to thy self just now.
Then her hand was raised in reverence
Slowly she said, Jesus, Jesus. Jesus
And ere we realized it, was gone.
She had often told her sisters
That when she had gone to rest
They must sing Asleep in Jesus,
Knowing all was for the best
''Are you ready for His coming
Often asked this sweet faced girl
And would say, "Oh Hallelujah'
When we'd say we're ready Pearl
Blessed Jesus in thy mercy
Hover DER these sorrowing ones
Much they need thy peace and com
fort
AS they say THY will be done"
Thus the first home char made vacant
Almost seems their hearts to break
But the peace and rest thou givest
Help them Lord from Thee to take
