Full of years, and crowned with honour,
He has entered into rest,
Calmly as a little child would
Nestling to a mother's breast.
Fitting end to such a blameless
Life this death divinely blest.
He has entered into rest,
Calmly as a little child would
Nestling to a mother's breast.
Fitting end to such a blameless
Life this death divinely blest.
Hushed the glorious voice which ever
Rang with truths great and sublime;
Deaf the ears which ever opened
To the woes of every clime;
Cold the hands which have engraven
Marks upon the walls of Time.

Shrouded by the dusky shadows
Which conceal its lustre bright,
This great star has made its transit
To another world of light;
Where it shines in bright effulgence
Hidden from our mortal sight.
