We miss thee from our home, dear;

A shadow over our life Is cast;
We miss the sunshine of thy face
We miss thy kind and willing hand
Thy fond and earnest care;
Our home is dark without thee;
We miss thee everywhere.
Weep not that her tolls are. over.
Weep not that her race is run;
God grant, that we may rest
When our work, like hers is dom
Till then we yield with gladness;
Our Lucy to Him to keep;

Gle giveth His loved one sleep
