Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFEGHEIJBKBLMNM AOPOBCQCQRSRTUCUUVWV| Turn from the grave turn from the grave | A |
| There's fearful mystery there | B |
| Descend not to the shadowy tomb | C |
| If thou wouldst shun despair | B |
| It tells a tale of severed ties | D |
| To break the bleeding heart | E |
| And from the canopy of dust | F |
| Would make it death to part | E |
| Oh lift the eye of faith to worlds | G |
| Where death shall never come | H |
| And there behold the pure in heart | E |
| Whom God has gathered home | I |
| Beyond the changing things of time | J |
| Beyond the reach of care | B |
| How sweet to view the ransomed ones | K |
| In dazzling glory there | B |
| They seem to whisper to the loved | L |
| Who smoothed their path below | M |
| Weep not for us our tears have all | N |
| Forever ceased to flow | M |
| Take from the grave take from the grave | A |
| Those bright but withering flowers | O |
| The spirit that had loved them once | P |
| Is now in fadeless bowers | O |
| Undying is the fragrance there | B |
| Eternal is the bloom | C |
| But the next breeze may waft away | Q |
| This perishing perfume | C |
| One fearful stamp Doomed to decay | Q |
| Marks all the joys of earth | R |
| Oh what a resting place for souls | S |
| Of an immortal birth | R |
| Then linger round the grave no more | T |
| Lift lift the eye to Heaven | U |
| Till hues of faith shall gild the gloom | C |
| And every sigh's forgiven | U |
| Then when the golden harvest's done | U |
| The path of duty trod | V |
| Thou with the loved may'st garnered be | W |
| And gathered home to God | V |
