In honor of those we've lost in 2023, we head into 2024, realizing "My times are in Thy hands." (Psalm 31:15)Should you go first and I remain to walk the road alone,I'll live in mem'ry's garden, dear,with happy days we've known.In spring I'll wait for roses red,when fades the lilacs bloom.And in early fall when brown leaves fall,I'll catch a glimpse of you.Should you go first and I remain,for battles to be fought.Each thing you've touched, along the way,will be a hallowed spot.I'll hear your voice. I'll see your smile,though blindly I may grope,The mem'ry of your helping hand,will buoy me on with hope.Beyond the sunset, oh, blissful morning, when with our Saviour, heaven is begun. Earth's toiling ended, oh glorious dawning, beyond the sunset when day is done.
