Thou art gone, but not forgotten, I
Bitter was the parting hour.
Still within our hearts we'll cherish c
Sweet and loving thoughts of thee. !
Time can never heal the wound d
With wealth of pure devotion +
We shall always think of thee, G
Looking down from Heaven above, Q
Happier far than we can dream of,
Resting in the arms of love.
Thou art gone, but not forever. !.
Christians know no sad farewell,
For at Heavens gate we'll meet you,
When the mists have rolled away. a
