Broken is our Family circle

Our dear one has passed away

Passed from earth and earthly darkness,

Into bright and perfect day

But we all must cease to languish,

Over the grave of him we love,

Strive to be prepared to meet him,

In the better world above.





Heavens gate swung gently open,

The Master called softly,

"Come,"

And you, dear one, took the Master's hand,

And your work on earth was done.

We'll never cease to miss you,

And shed many silent tears, 

Because we cannot share with you

Our hopes, our joys, our fears.

But one day in God's garden.

When the Master calls us to come.

You'll be at the gate with open arms

And say to us, "Welcome Home!"



A million times I've needed you

A million times I've cried

If love could have saved you

You never would have died

Things we feel most deeply

Are the hardest things to say

My dearest one, I loved you,

In a very special way

If I could one lifetime wish

One dream that could come true

I'd pray to God with all my heart

For yesterday and you!
