Comes that messenger Divine"
land the light that once shone brightly
I On this earth no more will shine.
While the bells were sweetly ringing
no proclaim glad New Year.
Then the Angels gently called her
sfpff.tsd she knew that Death was near.
Then she called her husband to her
And she said. MY time has come
For the Master now is calling
And my work on earth is done"
Then her pastor knelt beside her,
Prayed the Lord her soul to Keep"
And her faith was in her Master.
AS she gently fell asleep.
May your bitter tears Dear husband,
Soothe the sorrow of your heart
Could our sympathy but ease you.
When Death claims loved ones must part
Loving parents bow with sorrow
Tears bedim each sisters eye
Friends are also filed with sadness
AS they say a last Good Bye.
Tender hearts are touched with pity
For the little girl aged four.
Mammals step and her sweet kisses
Now will never greet her more.
Things we prize are first TO vanish
Hearts we love to pass away
Meath the sod she now is resting
Till the resurrection day.
But her spirit is in Heaven.
There no pain and sorrows known
And her soul. jewel shining
To guide the loved ones home.
Thus friend and loving sister,
Soon, so soon. has passed away
With tears and flowers bedimed with tea
drops
Our last. sad respect we pay.
Let us follow then her footsteps
In the path of truth and right.
May our lamps, like hers be ready
When God puts out the light.
