Our home is filled with grief today;

A loved one dear has passed away.
The Lord took her to heaven above,
To His mansions fair, where all is love.

Her tender voice no more we hear,
Her memory we hold most dear;
Her counsel was so good and wise,
And now she lives beoyond the skies.

Help us, dear Lord, to die as she,
Freed from all sin, from cares set free;
Calling to Jesus to take us Home,
To meet our loved around God’s Throne.
