Well, if the word God is missing the letter O, then we're left without a God, merely a G and a d, which could be taken as a metaphysical or theological observation: There is no god, just death; no happy hereafter, merely finality in the grave, so one may as well toast death instead of an imagined paradise to come. I suppose that's one way to read that last line.
Also, the O reverberates as an exclamation for me, as in O! or Oh! And that could suggest a variety of expressions: surprise, resignation, delight, or disbelief.
