# By H. E. Rudd

<!-- page:735 -->

Gone to the world of spirits, gone; We look for father:-father's gone

He's left this vail [veil] of tears, To meet no more with us.

The cabin and the garden spot,

In which he pass'd the remnant out, Gone where the wicked never come;

Of eighty troubled years. The weary are at rest;

Pain, sickness, sorrow, all is o'er;

Gone fare-thee-well; we lov'd thee dear; He's paid the debt, and can no more:

No more we'll hear thy voice; He reigns amongst the blest.

Our Sabbath meetings seem to mourn,
