In Memory of Arthur Volstad
(Published by Request)

Arthur, dear Arthur, lingers no more
Here in the vale of tears.
He's in a better home
Where holy angels roam,
Ended his early career.

He loved the Savior who goeth before
Author of joy and peace.
Now on a brighter shore,
Happy for evermore,
His joy will never cease.

A kind loving father,
A husband so dear
Sweet is his memory.
Oh Lord, we look to Thee,
May we united be
Throughout Eternity.

Earth ties are broken,
Fond hearts must part.
Sad is the farewell scene.
See through the gloom, a gleam
For all who are redeemed,
And by the blood made clean.

Though they be parted,
Yet they shall meet
At the dear Saviours feet.
Praise Him in robes of white,
Where never comes the night
They'll stand in Him complete.
