| Cometh a voice from a far land | B |
| Beautiful sad and low | C |
| Shineth a light from the star land | B |
| Down on the night of my woe | C |
| And a white hand with a garland | D |
| Biddeth my spirit to go | C |
| - | |
| Away and afar from the night land | B |
| Where sorrow o'ershadows my way | E |
| To the splendors and skies of the light land | B |
| Where reigneth eternity's day | E |
| To the cloudless and shadowless bright land | B |
| Whose sun never passeth away | E |
| - | |
| And I knew the voice not a sweeter | A |
| On earth or in Heaven can be | F |
| And never did shadow pass fleeter | A |
| Than it and its strange melody | F |
| And I know I must hasten to meet her | A |
| Yea Sister thou callest to me | F |
| - | |
| And I saw the light 'twas not seeming | G |
| It flashed from the crown that she wore | A |
| And the brow that with jewels was gleaming | G |
| My lips had kissed often of yore | A |
| And the eyes that with rapture were beaming | G |
| Had smiled on me sweetly before | A |
| - | |
| And I saw the hand with the garland | D |
| Ethel's hand holy and fair | A |
| Who went long ago to the far land | B |
| To weave me the wreath I shall wear | A |
| And to night I look up to the star land | B |
| And pray that I soon may be there | A |
