  Father has gone to a happier land
  But he left a memory dear.
  Of loving thoughts and kindly deeds
  While he trod the road with us here.
  Oh the Savior knew of the miles he had walked.
  And how weary grew the feet.
  So he called him home to rest in peace
  Where he waits the rest to greet.
  No more of life’s sorrow and toil and care
  Just life in the Saviour’s love
  May we live our lives so that when we are called
  We may join the dear ones above.
