Left US, yes forevermore;
But we hope to meet our loved one
On that bright and happy shore.

That was not complete,
So God took our darling Frances
To oil the vacant seat.
Another little lamb has gone
To dwell 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 clssped our darling's hand.
