With pain farewell till in

And tender memories of thee keep
Thine in the Lord to rest for so,
He giveth his beloved sleep.

Why should our tears in sorrow flow,
When God recalls His own,
And bids him leave a world of woe
For an immortal crown?
Is not cen death gain to those
Whose life to God was given?
Gladly to earth their eyes they close
To open them in Heaven
His tolls are past. his work is done,
And he is fully blest,
He fought the fight, the victory won
And entered into rest.
Then let our sorrows cease to flow. I
God has recalled His own,
Rut let our hearts in every woe,
Still say, "Thy will be donew
