We sing our honored dead,
And on His tranquil bed,
Proud tribute fling;
Here let u song arise,
Like incense to the skies,
A loving sacrifice
To him we sing.
No voice of woe shall wreathe
Amidst the strain we breathe,
With grateful breast;
His was a work well done,
His was a race well run,
His was a victory won
Of peace and rest.
Gods blessing crowned his course
Our guide and Jul resource
Through years long tried.
His was a mission true
The highest to pursue,
His aim and will to do,
And, doing, died.
Died, as some glorious day
AT harvest, fades away
From scenes of earth.
And garnered wealth Of years
His memory endears,
While every heart reyeres
His faultless worth.
Thus no respondent note
Should DER his relics float,
Butstriumps sound
His mission was complete,
Endowed with virtues meet,
Until his weary feet
Sought heavenly ground.
