I Hear a Sweet Voice Calling

1
Our little girl taken sick one evening
4 1
As she walked home from school
4 1
And then her death bed soon claimed her
5 1
It made us so sad and so blue

Then she called me close to her bedside
And whispered these words soft and low
Tell mommy to come to me quickly
I want to kiss you both then go

1
I hear a sweet voice calling
5 1
Way up in heaven on high
4
God has made room for your daughter
1 5 1
Oh mommy and daddy don’t cry

Take care of little brother
Tell him I’ve gone to rest
I know his little heart is broken
He’s all that you have left

Then she closed her eyes forever
Never to see us no more
Until we meet our darling
On that bright and peaceful shore
