Bury me in the morning, mother

or one bright day on my grave, mother,
Ere you leave me alone with the night:
Alone in the night of the grave, mother
Ills thought of terrible fear
And stars will be shining here,
So bury me in the morning mother,
And let me have the light
of ono bright day OH my grave, mother,
Ero | am alone with the night.
You tell of the Saviour's love, mother
feel it in my heart
But, oh from this beautiful world. mother
'Fis hard for tho young to part
Forever to part when here, mother,
Tho SOULS iain to stay,
For the grave is deep and dark mother,
And Heaven seems far away
Then bury me in the morning, mother,
And let me have the light
OF one bright day on my grave mother,
Ere am alone with the night
Never unclasp my hand mother,
Till it falls away from thine
Let mo hold the pledge orthy love, mother
Till feel the love. divine.
The love divine-ob look mother,
Above the beams | Sec
And there on angels face mother,
Is smiling down on me
So bury me in the morning, mother,
When The sun beams flood the sky
For death is the gate of life, mother,
And leads to light on high.
