Gone is the soul that we have loved-
A husband who has done his work-
A father who was loved by all;
Nor from his duties did he shirk,
But on and on he forged ahead
Until his work on earth was done
And now he sits among the best
Beside the Christ- the Father's Son.
We will not pause to shed a tear
For we shall meet him over there
Where greater duties are performed
In cloudless lands where all is fair.
