We have loved ones gone beÂfore us
To that hapÂpy, peaceÂful home,
And they’re singÂing with the anÂgels
Where no sin or death can come.
Refrain
O the joy that thrills our spirÂits
As we think of loved ones gone,
For thro’ faith in Christ we’ll meet them,
When eterÂniÂty shall dawn!
Safe are they who sleep in JeÂsus:
All their toil and cares are o’er;
Now they live in peace and gloÂry
With the SavÂior they adore.
Refrain
Father, keep us ever faithÂful
In the straight and narÂrow way
That with Thee and loved ones yonÂder
We may dwell in bliss for aye.
