Representative Text

1 We have loved ones gone be­fore us
To that hap­py, peace­ful home,
And they’re sing­ing with the an­gels
Where no sin or death can come.

Refrain:
O the joy that thrills our spi­rits
As we think of loved ones gone,
For thro’ faith in Christ we’ll meet them,
When eter­ni­ty shall dawn!

2 Safe are they who sleep in Je­sus:
All their toil and cares are o’er;
Now they live in peace and glo­ry
With the Sav­ior they adore. [Refrain]

3 Father, keep us ever faith­ful
In the straight and nar­row way
That with Thee and loved ones yon­der
We may dwell in bliss for aye. [Refrain]
