When he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and prayed with them all. And they all wept sore, and fell on Paul’s neck, and kissed him, sorrowing most of all for the words which he spake, that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him unto the ship. (Acts 20:36‑38) |
Thou shalt be missed, because thy seat will be empty. (1 Sam. 20:18) |
There are loved ones who are missing From the fireside and the feast; There are faces that have left us; There are voices that have ceased — Thanksgiving, oh, thanksgiving That their love once blessed us here, That so long they walked beside us Sharing every smile and tear; For the hope of that glad meeting Far from mortal grief and pain — We thank Thee, oh our Father, For the blessings that remain. |
