Our father is sleeping, so free from all pain,
Oh. wake him not sweet spirit, to suffer again.

He is sleeping so sweety. oh, let him sleep on.
He fought the fight bravely, and the battle won;
So short time did he inger oh, let him sleep on.
Our dear father has left US in this world to roam
Amid the storms and trials of life TO fight our way:
But he will wait to greet in yon beautiful home,
Andwe there expect to meet him some sweet day.
Let our hearts be always cheerful;
Why should murmuring enter there?
When our kind and loving Saviour
Has promised us home so fair.
Weep not that his trials are over;
Weep not that his race is run;
God grant we may rest as calmly
When our work like his is done
precious father from us has gone
A voice we so much loved is stilled;
chair is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filed.
