All through her life Gods trusting child,
| Sincere, meek, loving, gentle mild,
She won from all the purest praise.
| Good will was hers toward all she knew;
| Good works her hands we're prompt to do
| To Gods good Book in purpose true
Peace crowns at last her useful days.
| Content whate'er her life or lot,
She served the Lord and murmured not
In Him her soul was satisfied.
BY Him, great Shepherd, daily led
| In pastures green and richly fed,
Twas her delight His ways to tread
| And lovingly in Him abide.
| All, Mary dwells with God to- day,
| Her ills and cares all passed away.
All Heavens rich, rich gifts to share.
| In Jesus sweetly fallen asleep;
| Gods angels constant vigils keep.
| Why should you, then; why should you weep?
Make sure to meet her over there.
