Now the laborers task is o'er
Now the battle day is past
Now upon the farther shore
Land the voyager at last
Father in Thy gracious keeping,
Leave we now Thy servant sleeping.
There the tears of earth are dried
There the hidden things are clear
There the work of life is tried
By a juster Judge than here
Father in Thy gracious keeping,
Leave we now, Thy servant sleeping.
Now we lift our tear-dimmed eyes
to the smiling skies above
And we know our dear one lies
In thee bosom of Thy love
Father in Thy gracious keeping,
Leave we now, Thy servant sleeping.
Card of Thanks
We wish to express our sincere thanks and appreciation's to the neighbors
