In Memoriam
Dearest mother, thou hast left us, Our mother is gone and we are left
Here thy loss we deeply feel; The loss of her to mourn;
But ‘tis God that hath bereft us, But may we hope to meet again,
He can all our sorrows heal. With Christ before His throne
Farewell dear children, shed no tears,
For you I’ve cared many years;
I always strove to do my best,
But now I’m gone to take my rest.

Yes, the Christian course is run,
Ended is the glorious strife;
Fought the fight, the work is done,

Far from earth the spirit flies,

Triumphing in Paradise.
