We will fall in the work—we will die at our post.

12s & 11s.

Farewell to a friend departed.

Thou art gone to the grave; but we will not deplore thee,

Though sorrows and darkness encompass the tomb:

The Saviour has passed through its portals before thee,

And the lamp of his love is thy guide thro’ the gloom.

2 Thou art gone to the grave; we no longer behold thee,
