Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord,
from henceforth; Yea, saith the Spirit,
that they may rest from their labors;
and their works do follow them.
Tis hard to break the tender cord,
When love had bound the heart;
Tis hard, so hard, to speak the words,
Must we forever part.
Dearest loved one we have laid thee,
In the peaceful grave's embrace;
But thy memory will be cherished,
Till we see thy heavenly face.
