FAREWELL DEAR SISTER PEACEFUL SLEEP, THOUGH KINDRED MOURN AND ORPHANS WEEP
OUR GRIEF NO HUMAN TOUNGE CAN TELL, THOUGH JESUS DOETH ALL THINGS WELL
SHES GONE TO MEET HER DEAR DEAR FRIENDS, WHERE DAY AND SUNLIGHT NEVER ENDS
GONE TO HER LONGED FOR HAPPY HOME, AND NEVER NEVER MORE TO ROAM
GONE TO THE LAND WHERE ANGELS DWELL, GONE TO THE LAND WHERE ALL IS WELL
GONE TO HER HAPPY HOME ABOVE, WHERE ALL IS JOY AND PEACE AND LOVE
GONE TO THE LAND OF PURE DELIGHT, TO JOIN THE ANGELS ROBED IN WHITE
GONE TO HER LAST LONG PEACFULL REST, TO LIVE WITH CHRIST AMONG THE BLEST:
AND AS SHE LAUNCHES OUT HER BARQUE, ON DEATHS ROUGH RIVER COLD AND DARK
I SEE HER LIGHT CRAFT WAFT ALONG, AND HEAR THE ECHO OF HER SONG
JESUS LOVER OF MY SOUL, LET ME TO THY BOSOM FLY
WHILE THE NEARER WATERS ROLL, WHILE THE TEMPEST STILL IS HIGH
THOUGH RAGING BILLOWS ROUND ME DASH, FIERCED TEMPEST ROAR AND BREAKERS CRASH
NO DANGER DOTH MY SOUL DISMAY, FOR JESUS GUIDES ME ALL THE WAY
AND AS SHE NEARS THE OTHER SIDE, FAR O'ER THE DARK AND SWOLLEN TIDE
I HEAR FAINT ECHOS FROM THE BLAST, OH HOME SWEET HOME I'M HOME AT LAST
