Dear husband, we miss you at the table;
We miss your blessed prayer.
We miss thee in the social circle;
My dear, we miss thy tender care.
But my heart is full of love for thee,
An of memories bright and fair;
And you are ever with me,
For you are never absent there.
We know thou art asleep in Jesus,
Free from all pain and care.
And now were are only waiting
For the meeting with our Lord in the air.
