4
God has called her, oh how sudden,
And she listened to the call,
fastened to her home in Heaven,
Though she had to leave us all,
A wife so dear, a sister so kind,
Has gone and left US all behind.
For all of US she did her best
So God has granted her eternal rest
From this world Of pain and sorrow,
To land of peace and rest.
God has taken my dear wife
To where she found eternal rest.
By her husband,
McILWANE HUDSON.
