Still Remembered
Hes gone but still remembered
Well see his face no more
But when we join that angelic host
Well meet again beside the shore
Hes gone but still remembered
He left behind a lovely past
We need not mourn his going away
Well see him when we die at last
Hes gone but still remembered
Great and noble was his life
He nursed no envy in his breast
He withstood the sting of the strife
Hes gone but still remembered
His deed were motivated by love
We know hes resting with his God
In the Heavens high above
Gone! Yes! But still remembered.
