We know that you must leave us now,
Dear sister, whom we love,
We know that God has taken you
To live with Him above.
We'll miss you for a little while-
You've been with us so long
But God has chosen and we know
His choice is never wrong.
His need for you is greater far
Than ours could ever be
And someday we may serve Him, too,
Through all eternity.

Our loved one now has gone to rest
And though we'll miss her so
We know she'll find the peace she needs
Where everyone must go.
Though winds may blow and seas may roll
With trouble all around
We know within our hearts that she
Is only homeward bound.
But if your melancholy heart
Cries out for her today
Remember she cannot come back
But we can always pray.

She has served her country well
And now her work is done;
She starts her final journey home
To meet the Holy One.
The Lord looks down upon the earth
And gathers up the best.
Their honor is His choosing them
And leaving all the rest.
So do not weep for one so fair
She does not pine for you
For she has gained her great reward
Received someday by you.
Marilyn Sanofsky
712
She's left her godly friends on earth-
Yes, she has gone away.
She leaves her home and family here
To find the brighter day.
And she shall find it, that we know,
For she deserves the best
And God in all His splendor knows
That she must have a rest.
For she has served her country well-
And now her time has come.
When she will start her journey home
To meet the Holy One.

A little child has left the earth
To climb the golden stair.
To revel in the heavenly world
That she will find up there
God has taken her with Him
She answered to His call-
He's saved her from the fears of life
That must befall us all;
So do not shed a tear for her;
Nay, do not suffer pain
For what we think is lost to us
Is God's, our Father's, gain.

A baby is sleeping,
How still does she lie;
She ceases her creeping-
No more does she cry.
The laughter is gone, and
Her footsteps forgot-
All hearts will be aching
For this tiny tot.
So grieve not for she is
But happier there
Encircled in arms of a
Master of care.
Marilyn Sanofsky
713
An angel came for our little one
And carried her away-
On to heaven's golden brightness
And there she'll love to stay.
New dawns will break, new darkness fall,
And one by one the days
Will pass beyond our own recall,
Blest with our memories.
So there's a star up there tonight,
One that we so adore-
Far more bright than others are-
Or any there before.
Margriet Gilkison
715
Dear little girl-so innocent,
Far sweeter than an Angel's song-
So like a flower newly born,
Perhaps God thought that you belong
With Him where other Angels are.
Oh, how we'll miss your baby voice,
Your cuddly ways, your dimpled smile-
I'm sure the Angels now rejoice
To have you living there with them.
Dear Father keep her in your care-
See that she's safe and unafraid,
And tell her, soon we'll join her there.
