We will often think of that dear one, Who now is silent and cold, Thank God, we all

Prepare to enter the gate That Jesus so kindly has opened, On the way that is narrow and strait Where
the sweet angels are singing,
Forever with God to remain And our dear one is waiting And there we will see him again.
