We loved him, yes We loved him.
But he was gently called to yonder shining shore. A gentle voice said, ((Come " He calmly entered home. Sleep on, dear, (( Tis God who thought it best
To take you from this world ofsorrow To a lovely place to rest. Safe in the arms ofJesus;
Angels guard thy sleeping clay; We are looking forward
To see you resurrection day.
