Weep not for friend deceased,

With songs let us follow his flight,
And mount, with his spirit above,
Our friend the haven hath gained,
And left his companions behind,
Still tossed on sea of distress,
Hard toiling to make the blest

Where all is assurance and peace,
And sorrow and sin are no more,
His voyage of life is at an end,
The mortal affection is past,
The age that in heaven he'll spend,
Forever and ever shall last.
