And a cure was not to be;
So He put His arms around you
And whispered, "Come to Me."
With tearful eyes we watched you,
And saw you pass away.
Although we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay.
A gentle, gracious, genuine
and good heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands at rest,
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the Best!
Eternal rest grant unto him,
O Lord, and let perpetual light
shine upon him.
May he rest in peace.
May his soul and the souls of
all the faithful departed
rest in peace. Amen
