In Memoriam Gone are the trials and sorrows, Gone the weariness and pain, He has reached the great Tomorrow, The path to Eternal Life; Long had he served his Maker With toiling hands he had labored here below, Long had he shared in every strife To build a stairway to his heavenly goal. Upright and gallant, a man he was, A. heroic heart with a simple trust In Him whose hand stretched forth to bless A faithful servant at his task. Dauntless son of a noble race, Beloved husband, worthy and true, A cheerful friend with a smiling • face, A father, the greatest one ever knew. He won us all with his gentle grace, We loved our grandfather too, We would gather on quiet evenings When the glare of clay was done, And feel the warm serenity Of the slowly sinking sun. Like his life the shadows lingered, And then the bright dawn broke, And God's own hand, in mercy, Reached down and snapped the yoke. Grandfather shall see His glory, And hear the words "Well done!" The strife at last is over, The battle fought and won; We too shall see him waiting When we reach the other shore, With outstretched hand to lead us, To Peace forevermore, In memory of Con Eckert by Grandchild, E.
