Beautiful life with its crown now
won,
God giveth thee rest.
Rest from all sorrows and watching
and fears,
Rest from all possible signing and
tears,
/
: Rest through Gods endless, wonder
full years,
At home with the blest,
: Beautiful spirit, free from all stain;
5 Ours the heartache, the sorrow, the
pain;
: Thine is the glory and infinite gain
Thy slumber is sweet, mother dear
Il Peace on the brow and the eyelids SC
calm,
: Peace in the heart meath the white
: folded palm,
/ Peace dropping dom / Ike wondrou:
!, balm
From the head 10 the feet. :
1 It was so sad, our white lips said;
: How we shall miss her, the beautiful
dead;
{ Who'll take the place of the precious
4 one fled?
But God knoweth best.
We know He watches the sparrow
5 that fall,
: Hears the sad cry of the grievet
c hearts that call,
1 Friends and kindred, He knowetl
them all;
e We can trust for the rest.
10 mourn not for mother, who ha
reached that bright shore,
Earth's sickness and sorrow can reaci
her no more.
We know from our presence they can
not remain,
The angels are whispering, "Wel
meet her again"
