We know you rest with God.

O BROTHER, FIRST TO LEAVE OUR BAND

WHILE GRAY HAIRS GATHER ON OUR BROWS,
THOU ART FOREVER YOUNG.

HOW LONG THY FEET HAVE TRODE;
TO FIND AT LAST THIS PEACEFUL REST
SAFE IN THE ARMS OF GOD.

A light from our household is gone,
A voice we loved is stilled,
A place is vacant in our hearts,
That never can be filled.

Safe in the arms of Jesus
Sweetly thy soul shall rest

I am a volunteer photographer for findagrave.com and have come across so many interesting headstones, monuments and inscriptions and love to share these with others.

Pictures will be uploaded as I discover these treasures.
