Farewell! dear, faithful friend farewell!
our hearts are sore and sad,
To think the sunshine Of thy smile
No more shall make us glad
To think that, quenched IN deaths dark night,
The bright glance 81 thine eye
No more shall CLEAN with truth and love,
To tell great soul nigh.
But brighter will our pathway be,
Through lf,'s remaining day,
Because the sunshine Of thy smile
Hath fallen our way:
Because the love hight q thine eye
Hath touched our common heart,
Ard kiudled hopes Of joys beyond,
where true friends never part.
And while we tread this lower court
OF Gods dear house on high,
Thy memory in our hearts thaN dwell
By mauy sactei tie.
And when the Father, in His love,
Shall set our spirits free,
We trust, dear friend, that may ret
welcome home" from thee.
