In Jesus Name. Amen!

Father and mother sleeping today,

Side by side in a country plot;

On a sunny hillside far away

Where the flowers bloom in the meadow gay,

Close by their burial lot.

Sleeping in peace,

Awaiting the dawn of the day when God calleth His children home.

Father and mother sleeping today,

Cares and trials all past,

Awaiting the call of the judgment day

To gather them home at last;

Wrapped in the infinite love of God

Sleeping, yes sleeping, under the sod.

Angels guarding their narrow home

Know not the day when their Lord shall come,

Yet a life of duty and service given

Truly secures them a home in heaven.

May I be sure that same home to gain,

Then in God's mercy meet them again.
