O Dearly loved	A
And worthy of our love No more	B
Thy aged form shall rise before	B
The bushed and waiting worshiper	C
In meek obedience utterance giving	D
To words of truth so fresh and living	D
That even to the inward sense	E
They bore unquestioned evidence	F
Of an anointed Messenger	C
Or bowing down thy silver hair	G
In reverent awfulness of prayer	G
The world its time and sense shut out	H
The brightness of Faith's holy trance	I
Gathered upon thy countenance	F
As if each lingering cloud of doubt	H
The cold dark shadows resting here	J
In Time's unluminous atmosphere	K
Were lifted by an angel's hand	L
And through them on thy spiritual eye	M
Shone down the blessedness on high	M
The glory of the Better Land	L
	-
The oak has fallen	N
While meet for no good work the vine	O
May yet its worthless branches twine	O
Who knoweth not that with thee fell	P
A great man in our Israel	Q
Fallen while thy loins were girded still	R
Thy feet with Zion's dews still wet	S
And in thy hand retaining yet	S
The pilgrim's staff and scallop shell	P
Unharmed and safe where wild and free	T
Across the Neva's cold morass	U
The breezes from the Frozen Sea	T
With winter's arrowy keenness pass	U
Or where the unwarning tropic gale	V
Smote to the waves thy tattered sail	V
Or where the noon hour's fervid heat	W
Against Tahiti's mountains beat	W
The same mysterious Hand which gave	X
Deliverance upon land and wave	X
Tempered for thee the blasts which blew	Y
Ladaga's frozen surface o'er	C
And blessed for thee the baleful dew	Y
Of evening upon Eimeo's shore	B
Beneath this sunny heaven of ours	Z
Midst our soft airs and opening flowers	Z
Hath given thee a grave	X
	-
His will be done	N
Who seeth not as man whose way	A2
Is not as ours 'T is well with thee	T
Nor anxious doubt nor dark dismay	A2
Disquieted thy closing day	A2
But evermore thy soul could say	A2
'My Father careth still for me '	-
Called from thy hearth and home from her	C
The last bud on thy household tree	T
The last dear one to minister	C
In duty and in love to thee	T
From all which nature holdeth dear	K
Feeble with years and worn with pain	B2
To seek our distant land again	C2
Bound in the spirit yet unknowing	D
The things which should befall thee here	J
Whether for labor or for death	D2
In childlike trust serenely going	D
To that last trial of thy faith	E2
Oh far away	A2
Where never shines our Northern star	F2
On that dark waste which Balboa saw	G2
From Darien's mountains stretching far	F2
So strange heaven broad and lone that there	G
With forehead to its damp wind bare	G
He bent his mailed knee in awe	H2
In many an isle whose coral feet	W
The surges of that ocean beat	W
In thy palm shadows Oahu	Y
And Honolulu's silver bay	A2
Amidst Owyhee's hills of blue	Y
And taro plains of Tooboonai	C2
Are gentle hearts which long shall be	T
Sad as our own at thought of thee	T
Worn sowers of Truth's holy seed	I2
Whose souls in weariness and need	I2
Were strengthened and refreshed by thine	C2
For blessed by our Father's hand	L
Was thy deep love and tender care	G
Thy ministry and fervent prayer	G
Grateful as Eshcol's clustered vine	C2
To Israel in a weary land	L
	-
And they who drew	Y
By thousands round thee in the hour	C
Of prayerful waiting hushed and deep	J2
That He who bade the islands keep	J2
Silence before Him might renew	Y
Their strength with His unslumbering power	C
They too shall mourn that thou art gone	C2
That nevermore thy aged lip	K2
Shall soothe the weak the erring warn	C2
Of those who first rejoicing heard	L2
Through thee the Gospel's glorious word	L2
Seals of thy true apostleship	K2
And if the brightest diadem	M2
Whose gems of glory purely burn	C2
Around the ransomed ones in bliss	N2
Be evermore reserved for them	M2
Who here through toil and sorrow turn	C2
Many to righteousness	O2
May we not think of thee as wearing	D
That star like crown of light and bearing	D
Amidst Heaven's white and blissful band	L
Th' unfading palm branch in thy hand	L
And joining with a seraph's tongue	P2
In that new song the elders sung	P2
Ascribing to its blessed Giver	C
Thanksgiving love and praise forever	C
	-
Farewell	P
And though the ways of Zion mourn	C2
When her strong ones are called away	A2
Who like thyself have calmly borne	C2
The heat and burden of the day	A2
Yet He who slumbereth not nor sleepeth	T
His ancient watch around us keepeth	T
Still sent from His creating hand	L
New witnesses for Truth shall stand	L
New instruments to sound abroad	Q2
The Gospel of a risen Lord	R2
To gather to the fold once more	B
The desolate and gone astray	A2
The scattered of a cloudy day	A2
And Zion's broken walls restore	B
And through the travail and the toil	S2
Of true obedience minister	C
Beauty for ashes and the oil	S2
Of joy for mourning unto her	C
So shall her holy bounds increase	T2
With walls of praise and gates of peace	T2
So shall the Vine which martyr tears	U2
And blood sustained in other years	V2
With fresher life be clothed upon	C2
And to the world in beauty show	W2
Like the rose plant of Jericho	W2
And glorious as Lebanon	C2
