In Memory of
Mrs. Amanda Clem
BT A. C. W.
Our sainted mother took a journey far
To a blissful country of heavenly light
We know the gates were standing ajar
And the angels received her, all
dressed in white.
What a grand reception that must
have been,
When she met that great host in
the kingdom of God,
Such a pleasant reunion of loved
ones and friends
And the feast they’d prepared was
the love of the Lord.
1 fancy she’s waiting for de^F ones
below
When they have finished their
course ia this God given land,
If they trust in their Savior to
heaven they’ll go
With the millions of angels that take
their stand.
Let’s all strive to meet her in man
sions above
And oh what rejoicing in heaven
there’ll be,
Hosanna! Hosanna! how divine is
His love
As we reign in His presence eternally.
[Mrs Clem departed this life June
20, 1907.]
