Oh do not wish your darling back
In this sad world of care,
But further wish that you with her
Eternal life may share.
A gentle voice has welcomed her
Into a land of rest.
And safe upon our Savior’s breast
Your precious babe shall rest.
So do not wish your darling back.
But meekly kiss the sod,
Your precious gem was only lent
She still belongs to God.
A Friend
