Was your dying WofdS.
On that bright and happy shore
Where loved ones meet
And angels part no more
shall meet thee.
Dear wife since you have left me
Il miss your presence so
And the tears that I have shed
Are more than you could know.
How sad it is at the old home.
~Since you are gone away.
In the ward the weeds have grown
And no children come to play.
When to the house | go
(But no one opens the door,,
And it is sad to know
That | will not see you any more.
When to the lot ] 90.
I cannot see thee there
The hands that sllelled the corn for
chicks
I cannot see them anywhere.
It breaks my heart to think
y Thy face I cannot see
Thy voice I cannot hear
That voice so sweet to me.
The ioys of my life are past
Life seems nothing more to me.
But I'll strive to find the best
And l know they'll come to me.
And I'll live for joys unknown,
The Joys beyond the grave,
The ioys in that happy meeting.
And your bright and smiling face
How can I think of living in sin
When sin will take me from thee.
Your heaven and the angels
For all eternity.
Dear Lord in my past life l see
Wherein I failed to serve thee.
oh Lord help me in my future life
To live for Thee and serve Thee.
Ny dear there is on sweet thought
This world is not my home
And it will not be so very long
Until cease to roam.
It's hard to go through life without
thee,
But if the Lord will be my guide
. will reach my home IN heaven
And be ever at your side.
Nav God watch over US at night
And guide US through the day
And keep US ever to the right
The one and only way.
So that when we are called to heaven
With our loved ones to be
All our sins will be forgiven
For now and eternity.
