Oh Nellie now has left us, She sleeps in that land so bright And we hope to meet our darling Tho' we dream of her each night. There's a vacant place in our home, dear, Where your sisters and brothers will stay, And we hope to meet our sister In that land so far away. Dearest Nellie thou hast left us, Here thy loss we deeply feel, Tho' 'tis God that has bereaved us He will all our sorrows heal.
