IN MEMORIAM

In memory of Dan C. Bucher who
passed away one year ago, May II,
1867.
Why should we weep for those who
sleep,
Our God doth comfort give,
Above the night in realms of light,
Our dead in Christstill live.
Our God is God not al the dead
Who cease to see and know,
He is the God of saints
And lives where joys forever flow.
Our dead are blest frpm tolls they
rest,
Beyond all pain and care,
No tear, no sigh, no Wailing cry
Can touch their spirits there.
In safe retreat, in Joy replete
They dwell in peace at home
They always wait at Heavens gate
The hour that we shall come.
Our Lord hath said, I'll bring your
When / come down the skies
Then from the gloom of dismal tomb
Their bodies shall arise.
Up in the air some place up there
Well all be gathered Home
With Christ to dwell where all is well
Where death can never come.
Mrs. Dan C. Bucher and Family
