(For a young
couple that |
|
went to the
mission field) |
| |
| With mixed emotions on this night |
| We've come to wish you well |
| And though it leaves two empty seats |
| Our hearts with pride and joy do swell. |
| |
| So faithfully you've joined us here |
| And of your time so freely given |
| That though you leave two empty seats |
| We know you're obeying our Father in Heaven. |
| |
| Wherever you journey to labor |
| In the fields that with harvest are white |
| Be sure that we'll do our best to fill |
| The two seats you leave empty tonight. |
| |
| If our hearts are a little heavy |
| And a tear or two slips away |
| Please know we rejoice in the empty seats |
| And couldn't ask you to stay. |
| |
| Our thoughts go with you all the way |
| We know you're in the Savior's hands |
| And through it all you seek His will |
| And carry on as He commands. |
| |
| So every time we come to church |
| And see your empty chairs |
| Our hearts will swell with pride and love |
| And we include you in our prayers. |
