Funeral Poems for Husbands

This selection of funeral poems for husbands offers brief put powerful words to add to the funeral program.

One precious to our hearts has gone;
The voice we loved is stilled.
The place made vacant in our home;
Can never more be filled.
Our Father in his wisdom called;
The one his love had given;
And so on earth the body lies;
His soul is safe in Heaven.

We watched him suffer, day by day;
It caused us bitter grief;
To see him slowly pine away;
And could not give relief.
His weary hours and days of pain;
His troubled nights are past;
And in our aching hearts we know;
He has found sweet rest at last.
'Tis sweet to know we will meet again;
Where parting is no more;
And my dear husband I loved so well;
Has only gone before.
God knows how much I miss him;
He counts the tears I shed;
And whispers, "Hush, he only sleeps;
Your husband is not dead."
Some day, some time, my years shall see;
The face I loved so well.
Some day, some time, his hand I'll clasp;
And never say farewell.

The pearly gates were opened;
A gentle voice said "Come,"
And with farewells unspoken;
He gently entered home.

His smiling way and pleasant face;
Are a pleasure to recall;
He had a kindly word for each;
And died beloved by all.
Some day we hope to meet him;
Some day, we know not when;
To clasp his hand in the better land;
Never to part again.

All his toils and conflicts o'er;
Lo, what glories he's discovered;
Oh, what glories he's discovered;
In the Saviour whom he loved.

His weary hours and days of pain;
His troubled nights are past;
And in our aching hearts we know;
He has found sweet rest at last.

God is His wisdom has recalled;
The boon his love had given;
And though the body slumbers here;
The soul is safe in Heaven.

To have, to hold and then to part;
Is the greatest sorrow of our heart.

Keep him Jesus, in Thy keeping;
'Til I reach that shining shore;
Then, O Master, Let me have him;
And love him as I did before.

We watched him suffer, day by day;
It caused us bitter grief;
To see him slowly pine away;
And could not give relief.
His weary hours and days of pain;
His troubled nights are past;
And in our aching hearts we know;
He has found sweet rest at last.
Some day, some time, my eyes shall see;
The face I loved so well.
Some Day, sometime his hand I'll clasp;
And never say farewell.

His smiling way and pleasant face;
Are a pleasure to recall.
He had a kindly word for each;
And died beloved by all.
Some day we hope to meet him;
Some day we know not when;
To clasp his hand in the better land;
Never to part again.
