How beau­ti­ful and true the life
Of our dear friend and bro­ther!
He looked above earth’s sin and strife,
To joys that live for­ev­er.

Refrain

How sweet to think that by and by,
Our spir­its filled with glad­ness,
Thro’ Je­sus’ name, we’ll meet on high,
Where comes no sin or sad­ness.

He sought to do the Sav­ior’s will,
Now rest, sweet rest, is giv­en,
And tho’ the flesh lies cold and still,
The spir­it lives in Hea­ven.

Refrain

Oh, let us ever faith­ful be,
’Till we shall meet in glo­ry,
Then thro’ a blest eter­ni­ty,
We’ll sing re­demp­tion’s sto­ry.
