| Text: | Gone Home |

| Tune: | [Gone from our home forever] |
| Composer: | Chas. H. Gabriel |
1 Gone from our home forever,
The darling of our band,
Crossed o’er the mystic river
Into the Summer-Land.
Chorus:
Gone from our home,
The darling of our band,
Crossed o’er the mystic river,
Into the Summer-Lan d.
2 Gone from a world of sadness,
Gone from a bed of pain,
Into eternal gladness,
never to weep again. [Chorus]
3 Gone where no storms of sorrow
Sweet o’er her troubled breast,
Gone from a dark tomorrow
To everlasting rest. [Chorus]
4 We weep, our hearts are breaking;
We smile, and kiss the rod;
We know her spirit’s waking
In the paradise of God. [Chorus]
