Roberts ~ Repast ~ Elina Baptist Church 2359 Mt. Auburn Street Augusta, Georgia 30904 Our family circle has been broken; A link gone from our chain; But though were parted for a while; We know well meet again. Some day, we know not when; We shall meet in a better land; And never part again. We shall meet with many a loved one; That was torn from our embrace; We shall listen to their voices; And behold them face to face. Sunshine passes, shadows fall; Loves remembrance outlasts all.
