 THEY are not dead, those loved ones who have passed
-Beyond our vision for a little while.

-They have but reached the Light while we still grope
+\\ They have but reached the Light while we still grope
-In darkness where we cannot see them smile.
+\\ In darkness where we cannot see them smile.
 But smile they do, and love us, and do not forget,
-Nor ever go so far away
+\\ Nor ever go so far away
-But that their hands clasp our hands and hold
+\\ But that their hands clasp our hands and hold
-Us safe from falling when we fain would stray.
+\\ Us safe from falling when we fain would stray.
 They are not dead—theirs is the fuller life.
-Theirs is the victory, the joy, the gain;
+\\ Theirs is the victory, the joy, the gain;
-For us is still the waiting and the strife,
+\\ For us is still the waiting and the strife,
-For us the loneliness, for us the pain.
+\\ For us the loneliness, for us the pain.
 Then let us gird us once again with hope,
-And give them smile for smile the while we wait;
+\\ And give them smile for smile the while we wait;
-And loving, serving, when our Father calls,
+\\ And loving, serving, when our Father calls,
-We’ll go to find our dear ones wait us at the gate.
+\\ We’ll go to find our dear ones wait us at the gate.
