Why God called you so soon.
A precious one from us is gone,
A voice we loved is stilled,
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled.
God has given to you the better
part;
We must live on with our burdens
G and our fears;
Face the long way with it's cares
and tears;
Teach us, dear God, so to do
That we may go home to her and
you.
And in the land of fairest flowers
May we but see that one of ours,
Then we shall know why and un-
derstand
The reason our lives have been SO
planned.
For hope will dream and faith will
trust
That somehow, somewhere meet
