It is a saddened home, / For one by one its treasures have departed, / And in its silence, worn and broken hearted, / The father weeps alone. / Be still, so still.

The soft fair arms that round his neck were twining, / The little feet that were so fond of climbing / Upon his chair. / Forever gone

The rosy faces watching for his coming, / And eager pattering footsteps swiftly running, / When he came home, / "My God and can it be

That in the long and dreary years to come / I nevermore shall in my lonely home / Their faces see? / "There's rest in Heaven" /The mother said, as by the river side / She fearless stood, "sweet rest for me," she cried. / "By Jesus given." 

And waiting there. / The mother and the children joyful stand, / Beckoning the father to a better land, / Where angels are.
