We cannot tell who next will fall
Beneath thy chasting rod;
One must be first, oh, may we all
Prepare to meet our God.

Oh how sadly do we miss him,
No earthly tongue can tell;
In heaven we hope to meet him,
For God doeth all things well.

Death has called away thy loved one
In the lonely grave to lie.
Yet his soul is now resting
In that home beyond the sky,

Though afflicted not alone,
Thou did’st give and thou
Hast taken. Blessed Lord
Thy will be done.
W.M. HOOVER, Blackwell, O.T.
