LyicsSister, thou wast mild and lovely,
Gentle as the summer breeze,
Pleasant as the air of evening
When it floats among the trees.
Peaceful be thy silent slumber,
Peaceful in teh grave so low,
Thou no more wilt join our number,
Thou no move our songs shalt know.
Dearest sister, thou hast left us,
Here thy loss we deeply feel;
But 't is God that hath bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal.
Yet again we hope to meet thee,
When the day of life is fled,
There in heaven with joy to greet thee,
Where no farewell tear is shed.
