"Dearest mother, thou has left us,
Here thy loss we deeply feel;
But 'tis God that has bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal.

"Peaceful be thy silent slumber,
Peaceful in thy grave so low;
Thou no more wilt join our number
Thou no more our sings shalt know.

"Oh! We would not wish thee, mother,
In this world of tears again;
But we'll try to meet thee yonder,
Where with Christ we'll ever reign."
