How beautiful and true the life
Of our dear friend and brother!
He looked above earth�s sin and strife,
To joys that live forever.
How sweet to think that by and by,
Our spirits filled with gladness,
Thro� Jesus� name, we�ll meet on high,
Where comes no sin or sadness.
He sought to do the Savior�s will,
Now rest, sweet rest, is given,
And tho� the flesh lies cold and still,
The spirit lives in Heaven.
How sweet to think that by and by,
Our spirits filled with gladness,
Thro� Jesus� name, we�ll meet on high,
Where comes no sin or sadness.
Oh, let us ever faithful be,
�Till we shall meet in glory,
Then thro� a blest eternity,
We�ll sing redemption�s story.
How sweet to think that by and by,
Our spirits filled with gladness,
Thro� Jesus� name, we�ll meet on high,
Where comes no sin or sadness.
