This day brings sadness to each heart,
feeling shared by all:
1--WE think OF those who answer not,
VI wheneer their names we call.
In memory We think OF them, we see
them as of yore;
: The noble, kind. the brave and true.
! who meet with US no more.
I Our brothers who have gone beyond.
! have laid their burdens down,
: Let us like them bring joy to all, and
strive to win crown.
l And in that day when trials come, and
we are troubled sore.
The good deeds they done will prove
. a blessing evermore.
The vast unknown will home-iike seem
our friends have gone before,
That We may meet them, is our hope.
when this life's journeys Ger.
Their spirits now are with their God,
upon the other shore
And SO may we abide with them, our
God forevermore.
