A precious one from US has gone,
A voice we love is stilled.
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filled.
God is his wisdom has recalled
The boon his love has given.
Although the body slumbers here,
The soul is safe in heaven.
Dearest father, thou hast left US,
And our loss we deeply feel.
But tbs God that has bereft us;
He can all our sorrows heal:
Yet again we hope to meet thee
When the day of life is ned,
When in heaven we viii greet thee,
Where no farewell tear Is Shed:
