Our dear beloved brother John A Clark
Has gone to rest
He is numbered now in heaven
With the beloved and the blessed.
He was a flower planted on earth, sent from heaven above
A flower of purity truthfulness and love
He sacrificed home, friends and life all for the gospel's sake
Until at last God thought it best him to His home take
Every one that met him said he was a noble boy
And sweet rest in heaven now is his to enjoy
We all have wished that he would have a little longer stayed
But God thought best to take him home before into sin he strayed

He was the light of all the home, sisters and brothers did love him
But he had a far superior home in the beautiful heaven above him.

We shall meet him up heaven over on the other shore
Where peace, and love and purity shall reign forever more.
