It s hard to lose the ones we love To see them pass away
The sweetest and the kindest gone While others are left to stray! But i f we had a garden With rosesfair and bright We often pick the loveliest And think it would be right. And so it is with Jesus
In His earthly garden here,
He often picks the fairest flowers The ones we love so dear.
The flowers that are picked by Him Will never fade away
We know they 'll live fore\>er and We 'll see them some sweet day.
