The music of earth fills us with pain and pleasure

Orchestra playing life’s seasons and song

But someday when we leave its mimed moment-measure

The music of heaven will welcome us home

The music of earth moves us in awe and longing

Imperfect mantras of passion and need

But oh, sweet someday when the music of heaven

Ever will ring in perfect harmony

The music of earth spawns a heavenly yearning

Over and over its chorus we crave

The music of heaven will never stop ringing

Praising our God who is mighty to save

The music of earth draws us on in life’s journey

Cheering us upward in its melody

Nearer and nearer to that blest Beginning

Where only the music of heaven will be

Dear Alma, lover of the Lord and music is in heaven now.

Her daughter, gifted pianist played at Emily’s wedding. While Emily said ‘I do’ Alma’s husband placed a tender farewell kiss on his beloved’s lips…

I was so disappointed to miss her funeral. She was a dear woman.
