IN MEMORIAM
In memory of our loved one, Mrs. Ruth A. Lillard, who is spending her first Christmas in Heaven. I’ve had my first Christmas in heaven, A glorious, wonderful day! I stood with saints of the ages Who found Christ, the Truth, and the Way. I sang with the heavenly choir: Just think! I, who solongto sing! And oh! what celestial music We brought to our Saviour and King! We sang the glad songs of redemption,
How Jesus to Bethlehem came, And how they had called His name Jesus, That all might be saved through His name. We sang once again with the angels, The song that they sang that blest morn, When shepherds first heard the glad story That Jesus, the Saviour, was born. 0, dear one, I wish you had been here: No Christmas on earth could compare With all the rapture and glory We witnessed in Heaven so fair. You know how I always loved Christmas; It seemed such a wonderful day, With all of my loved ones around me, The children so happy and gay. Yes, now I can see why I loved it, And, Oh, what a joy it will be, When all of my loved ones are with me, To share in the glories I see. So dear ones on earth, here’s my greeting: Look up till the day dawn appears,
And Oh, what a Christmas awaits us, Beyond all our partings and tears.
Henry B. Lillard
