o prince in Israel much beloved,
Thy work on earth is done;
The palm of victory waiteth thee,
The crown which thou hast won
Fierce and great have been thy con-
flicts
Trials have pressed thee sore;
But now the morning dawns for thee
Thy night of tears is DER.
Verse
Day by day we saw you fade away
gently pass away;
Vet in our dreams we often prayed
that you might longer stay
If love and care could death prevent,
Thy days would not so soon be spent
Life was deserved but God did see
eternal rest was best for thee.
