! Why weep for him who sweetly sleeps
| Free from life's and woes?
| For in the tomb no shadows deep
! The fond and restless soul enclose;
| No anguish renus that peaceful breast,
Misfortunc's shafts never known.
| Aye tranquil, holy, is his rest
Yet we can call him still our own.
4 What was his death? transit TO
That heavenly land where all if love.
Far DER life's sea we dimly view
i Its pearly gates of light above.
within those gates grief dare not come
Joy claims for aye the Niciors crowL,
i And out from that eternal dome
| Celestial light streams softly down.
