MOTHER, by                    
First Line: After your life of steadfast faith
Last Line: With the eternal blest.
Subject(s): Rest; Tears


After your life of steadfast faith
The devotion pure and true,
Which made our home a place thrice blest
With peace and love and you.

Mother --
If cherished memories well
Could make you in heaven to feel
More happy and more complete
Our wounds of parting heal.

Mother --
We know God has healing in His hands
When ties that were life and soul
Were broken; yet faith rejoices
When the Christians reach their goal.

Mother --
God bids us hope, says "Do not weep."
And Praise to Him, we rest
Knowing that you are waiting for us
With the eternal blest.
