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.
