A precious one from us is gone,
A voice we loved is stilled
A spot is vacant in our hearts
That never can be filled.
Take her in Thine arms, dear Lord
And ever let him be,
A messenger of love
Between our hearts and Thee.
Lifes race well run
Lifes work well done
Lifes crown well won
And now she rests.
