When through the woods, and forest glades I wander,

And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees.

When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur

And see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze.

 

When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation,

And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart.

Then I shall bow, in humble adoration,

And then proclaim: "My God, how great Thou art!"

 

Loving father, husband and friend.  He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.  The world will be a dimmer place without his spirit.  I know I shall live on in your memories. Now I walk hand in hand with my loved ones again in the presence of God.
