"A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled.
God in His wisdom has recalled,
The boon His love and given,
And though the body slumbers here,
The soul is safe in Heaven,
We loved him, yes, we loved him,
But angels loved him, too;
And they have sweetly called him
To yonder shining shore.
The pearly gates were opened,
A gentle voice said "come,"
And with farewell unspoken,
He calmly entered home."
