"I Hear A Sweet Voice Calling" lyrics

Our little girl had taken sick one evening
On her way home from school
And soon her death bed claimed her
It made us so sad and so blue

And she called me to her bedside
And whispered soft and low
"Oh daddy please fetch mama
I want to kiss her once and go"

I hear a sweet voice calling
Way up in heaven on high
God's made room for you daughter
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 up yonder
On that bright and peaceful shore

I hear a sweet voice calling
Way up in heaven on high
God's made room for you daughter
Oh Mommy and Daddy don't cry
Don't cry
