Memorial verses for a father

We lost a father with a heart of gold,How much we miss him can never be told.He shared our troubles and helped us along,If we follow his footsteps we will never go wrong.We miss you from your fireside chair,Your loving smile and gentle air,Your vacant place no one can fill,We miss you, father, and always will.

He was a father so very rare,Content in his home and always there.On earth he toiled, in heaven he rests,God bless you, father, you were one of the best.

Pray for us, O dearest father,To Jesus Christ, our King;That He may bless our lonely homeWhere thou once dwelt therein.And pray that God may give us strengthTo bear our heavy cross;For no one knows but only HeThe treasure we have lost.

As we look upon your picture,Sweet memories we recallOf a face so full of sunshineAnd a smile for one and all.Sweet Jesus, take this messageTo our dear father up above,Tell him how we miss him,And give him all our love.

He never thought when leaving homeHe would never more return,That he in death so soon would sleepAnd leave us here alone.

Your Chair

Your chair sits by the fire still,Your coat hangs in the hall;The house is full of little thingsThat help us to recallThe kindness of your quiet ways,The laughter and the light;We miss you more than words can sayEach morning and each night.

A Life Well Lived

A life well lived, a job well done,A heart of gold, a gentle one;Rest easy now, your race is run.

Our Father

A quiet man, a gentle man,A father strong and true;He never sought a word of praiseFor all the things he’d do.

Dad’s Hands

Those hands that worked from dawn to dark,That mended, built and grew,Are resting now — their work is done,And we give thanks for you.

The Fields

He loved the fields, the cattle low,The hedges and the hay;God took him home to greener fieldsAt the closing of the day.

A Father’s Prayer

Lord, take our father to Your rest,The good man that he was;Reward the love he gave his own,And all he did for us.

Always Our Dad

You were our guide, our steady rock,The calm in every storm;Your wisdom kept us on the road,Your laughter kept us warm.And though you’ve gone where we can’t follow,Not yet, but by and by,We carry all you taught us, Dad —Your love will never die.

A great man,a loving father,deeply missed.

Dad, your hand held oursfor a little while,your heart for ever.

Devoted husband,loving father,gone but never forgotten.
