A Tribute to Mrs. W. J. Hall
(In memory of Mrs. W. J. Hall who passed to her reward
Feb. 5, 1932, to join her loved ones gone on before).
She has gone, oh, how we will miss her,
There is none can fill her place.
But we have the consolation
That it is our Master’s will.
God knows best just when to take her,
Yet our tears we can not cease.
But our hearts throb with gladness
That her soul and body are in peace.
Long and faithful has she labored--
Great the work she has begun
Truly has she fought life’s battle
Christ to her will say “Well done.”
She has smoothed the paths for others,
Bridging pitfalls on their way,
Placed their burdens on her shoulders
Tried their misery to stay.
Bodily pain she has suffered
Knowing that she soon must go,
That her earthly days were over,
Leave her loved ones here below.
Loved ones, as you’re mourning for her
Knowing that she’s stilled in death
Remember, she’s at home in Heaven,
Richer far than this world’s wealth.
But great the joy, the bliss eternal
To know her work has been well done,
That a rich reward awaits her--
A starry crown of life she has won.
No tears of pain, no signs of woe,
That land is full of joy and beauty
Built for his chosen ones to go.
Grieved ones, you will meet her yonder,
Will know her, grasp her loving hand,
Will sing glad songs with her forever,
In that glorious happy land.
Weep not, though from you she’s taken,
‘Twill be but for a little while,
The road you travel to o’ertake her,
Is just a short, tho’ rugged mile.
