As we gather at the table
And watch each smiling face,
The heart fills with emotion
To see the vacant place.
We may strive to hide our longing,
In the midst of mirth and fun
But we're thinking, thinking, thinking
of the loved - the absent one.
When we gather 'round the fireside,
With merry laugh and jest
How we wish the absent dear one
Were here with all the rest.
Still we join in all the frolies,
But we wish the day were done,
For we're thinking, thinking, thinking
Of the loved - the absent one.
Yet when the day is over,
And they all have gone to rest,
We feel the Heavenly Father
Does all things for the best.
So we cheer our drooping spirits
With the rising of the sun.
But we can't help thinking, thinking
Of the loved - the absent one.
