She hath fallen asleep-it is we'll
She hath thus lain her life burden down ::
Long years hath she borne the stern cross,
But it fitted her brow for the crown.
She may have forgotten, e'en now,
That ever earth taught her to weep;
Let us say, while in sorrow we bow,
1t is we'll she hath fallen asleep.
She hath fallen asleep fold the robe
O'er the meek heart SO pulSelesS and still
She hath gone to her Father and ours,
And cur grief is His sovereign will.
The rest which He gives His beloved
Is hers-the untroubled and deep
And because we so loved her we say
| 1t is well she hath fallen asleep.
She hath fallen asleep-it is we'll
She will not be weary again;
} We shall lie down beside her ere long;
} Then why should our weak faith COM
plain?
Nav we claim, on the morn of our rising,
Victor palms which the seraphim keep;
| @ what glory will crown the beloved
