Folded in death the busy hands
And stilled the gentle, generous heart
Dear one, we know thou art with the blest,
And yet the binding tear-drops start.
For thee the victor's crown and song,
For u.s. the bitter grief and pain;
Sad days will pass and lonely nights,
Ere we shall see thy face again.
Thou art at rest forevermore
From all earth's toll its pains and fears;
Mute are the lips, and hushed the voice.
That fell in music on our ears.
Dear patient one; Gods hand of love
Has led thee to eternal light;
And in His glorious home ON high
Thou dwell st with angels pure and bright
