Patient and uncomplaining still,

He smiles and cheers each weeping friend;

Faith, love and grief, their bosoms fill,

While he draws near his peaceful end.

He calmly bids his friends adieu;

My lovely bride, he cries, farewell!

By faith fair Canaan's land I view,

Oh may we there together dwell.

Do'nt weep for me, dear mourning friends,

I'm not afraid to meet my God;
