Gone to sleep from all thy pain;
Any thy soul is sweetly resting
In the blessed heavenly home.
He is sleeping, softly sleeping,
In neW-made grave today:
We are weeping, sadly weeping,
For our loved one, gone away.
In the graveyard softly sleeping,
Where the flowers gently wave;
Angels are our loved one keeping,
