A precious one is gone
A voice we loved is stilled
A place is vacant at home
That never can be filled.

But this we know
For it is true
"A place to prepare I go"
That I may welcome you.

For there no sorrows come,
To break life's blessed band
For life eternal is in that home,
The place is that beyond.

Her guiding star
Of hope she leaves
To lead us from afar
Who for her may Grieve

And so we hope to meet
In the precious bye and bye;
On Heavens Golden Street,
Where we shall never die.
