Another leaf has fallen,

Another soul has gone,

But still we have God's promise,

Rest dear husband

Thy work is o'er

Thy loving hands will toil no more.

yes we will miss him when we see his vacant chair,

And how sad the room without him for there is no dear husband there,

and no one to comfort her in her hours of sorrow and no one to lean to but God
