Our loved ! one , slie has < u > ne to I'est.
- Her sacred breath Is tilled \ ;
A vacancy is In our home
Which never can be filled.
Tier faith looks up to ' .rhalone. ,
Her spirit now has flown ;
And with the angeN she will dwell
Upon that Heavenly throne.
She left us here to weep and mourn
Till that blest day shall come ,
"When God on- Lord , shrill call us home ,
Among that h , .ppy ! throng.
