Help us, Lord, to bear the pain,
Since our loss is her sure gain.
For she is not dead! just gone before,
To yonder fair celestial shore,
Joining in song with the redeemed
In che beautiful reals of the Unseen.
Gone to meet her risen Lord.
Whom she worshiped and adored:
Gone to meet the loved of yore
Ne'er to part forevermore
There she walks the streets so bright,
Clad in garments snowy white;
Yet she pauses near the gate
Oft, to listen, watch and wair.
For the loved she knows will come,
When their work on earth is done,
There to join her hand in hand,
Reunited on Heavens strand.
