There is an empty room in our home today,
For our darling Mother has passed away.
She finished her work and finished it well,
Then went away with Jesus to dwell.
Oh 'tis so sad when we think today
That she has gone away and gone to stay.
Her smiling face we shall see no more
Till we meet on the bright and golden shore.
Her room now stands empty; her body at rest;
And that was the place she always loved best,
She left her dear family and friends here to weep,
While closing her eyes in her long last sleep,
But Jesus, dear Jesus, now comforts our heart
And tells us we're going where we never will part.
