With that smile upon your face; You were always kind and gentle, Oh, we miss you every place! But he in glory brightly dwelleth, Where a discord never comes; Where the life streams are ever flowing And all joys are truly won. Then let his true love enfold thee, Keep silent at His word; Be still and He shall mould thee. Oh, rest thee in the Lord! But all is well that God shall do, Although ‘tis hard to think; Sometimes we all shall understand, Whene’er we cross the brink. When beyond this world of changes, When beyond this world of care; We shall meet our dearest papa In the heavenly mansions fair. --Iva F. BOLLINGER.
