Ye have met ye have met disencumbered of painA
Of sorrow and sickness and careB
And the slave and the prisoner now freed from their chainA
Have rejoicingly welcomed you thereB
-
The true light now shines and the darkness is pastC
For that which is perfect is comeD
And your pure loving spirits are gathered at lastC
In their only congenial homeE
-
May the balm of your memory steal through the soulF
Like a gale from Arabia the blestG
Exert o'er the feelings a sacred controlF
And hush every murmur to restG
-
In the world we shall seek your resemblance in vainA
Your places shall know you no moreH
Yet who by a wish would recall you againI
For the days of your mourning are o'erJ
-
The King in His beauty your eyes now beholdK
He has sweetly dispelled all your fearsL
To the well spring of waters the Lamb leads His foldK
And God wipes away all their tearsM
-
Great grace was upon you and oh unto usN
May a manifold portion be givenO
That through pardoning love we may mingle aboveP
A circle unbroken in HeavenO
