| That for a transient day | B |
| Shed o'er our souls such lightness | A |

| O with immortal lustre | C |
| Thou 'rt sparkling brightly now | D |
| Amid the gems that cluster | C |
| Around Jehovah's brow | D |

| Yet many hearts are keeping | E |
| Lone vigils o'er thy grave | F |
| Where all the hopes are sleeping | E |

| Hath closed thy sweet blue eyes | G |
| And while our hearts are breaking | E |
| We glance toward the skies | G |

| Ah there a hope is given | H |
| That bids us dry the tear | I |
| That bright star in the heaven | H |
| With beams so wondrous clear | J |

| Far in the realms above | K |
| And those clear rays are laden | H |
| With her pure spirit's love | K |
