"Dear as thou wast, and justly dear, / We would not weep for thee; / One thought shall check the starting teat / It is - that thou art free.

And thus, shall faith's consoling power, / The tears of love restrain; / O, who that saw thy parting hour / Could wish thee here again?

Gently the passing spirit fled, / Sustained by grace divine, / O, may such grace on us be shed, / And make our end like thine."
