Dearest father and husband thou hast left us,
Here thy loss we deeply feel;
But 'tis God who has bereft us'
He can all our sorrows heal.
Oh, life will be so dark without
The sunshine of thy face
Thou hast left us and we miss thee,
Sadly miss thee, father and husband dear.
Day after day we saw him fade,
And gently pine away;
Yet often in our hearts we prayed
That he might with us longer stay.
