You're gone but not forgotten,
never shall your memory fade.
Sweetest thoughts shall ever linger
round the grave where you were laid.

A bitter cup, a shock severe,
to part with you, we loved so dear.
But trust in God, We'll meet again.

Sleep on, dear one, take thy rest,
your pain is gone, that's the best.
God took you home, it was his will,
but in our heart you're living still.

But again, sometime dear one,
when our days of life are fled,
in Heaven we hope to meet you,
where no farewell tears are shed.

Days of darkness still come over us.
Years of sorrow will silently flow.
But fond memory keeps you near us,
though Heaven claimed you to be with God
high above the Earth.
