Which swell the grand celestial song.

Here thy loss we deeply feel But 'tis God that hath bereft us, He can all our sorrows heal, Peaceful be thy silent slumber Peaceful in thy tomb so low; Thou, no more will join our numbers;
Thou, no more our sorrows know.
Yet again we hope to meet thee,
When the day of life is fled Then in Heaven, with joy to greet thee, Where no Farewell tear is shed"
