LyicsOh! who would remain in this prison of clay,
When friends and companions are hasting away -
Away to the climes of the blessed and free,
Where death never comes, and where pure spirits be.
Oh! could we but go with the friends that we love,
And taste their enjoyments in glory above;
No more would we fancy this desert below,
Where tears of deep anguish so frequently flow.
