With Sympathy, My Friend

Oh my friend, how very sad
You lost your loved one just today
The angels came and took her
To that home so far away



I know that you are a grieving
And your tears fall just like rain
So I asked the Lord to comfort you
And to help you through your pain



Oh, you know she was a hurting
And the Lord, He does know best
See, He knew how tired she was getting
Cause He thought it time she got some rest



Yes, now she's way up there in Glory
So each time you hear a church bell ring
You can smile and think about the times you had
And imagine her helping the angels sing
