GONE to thy Heavenly Father's rest	A
The flowers of Eden round thee blowing	B
And on thine ear the murmurs blest	A
Of Siloa's waters softly flowing	B
Beneath that Tree of Life which gives	C
To all the earth its healing leaves	D
In the white robe of angels clad	E
And wandering by that sacred river	F
Whose streams of holiness make glad	E
The city of our God forever	F
Gentlest of spirits not for thee	G
Our tears are shed our sighs are given	H
Why mourn to know thou art a free	G
Partaker of the joys of heaven	H
Finished thy work and kept thy faith	I
In Christian firmness unto death	J
And beautiful as sky and earth	K
When autumn's sun is downward going	B
The blessed memory of thy worth	K
Around thy place of slumber glowing	B
But woe for us who linger still	L
With feebler strength and hearts less lowly	G
And minds less steadfast to the will	L
Of Him whose every work is holy	G
For not like thine is crucified	M
The spirit of our human pride	M
And at the bondman's tale of woe	N
And for the outcast and forsaken	H
Not warm like thine but cold and slow	N
Our weaker sympathies awaken	H
Darkly upon our struggling way	O
The storm of human hate is sweeping	B
Hunted and branded and a prey	O
Our watch amidst the darkness keeping	B
Oh for that hidden strength which can	P
Nerve unto death the inner man	P
Oh for thy spirit tried and true	Q
And constant in the hour of trial	R
Prepared to suffer or to do	Q
In meekness and in self denial	R
Oh for that spirit meek and mild	S
Derided spurned yet uncomplaining	B
By man deserted and reviled	S
Yet faithful to its trust remaining	B
Still prompt and resolute to save	T
From scourge and chain the hunted slave	T
Unwavering in the Truth's defence	U
Even where the fires of Hate were burning	B
The unquailing eye of innocence	V
Alone upon the oppressor turning	B
O loved of thousands to thy grave	T
Sorrowing of heart thy brethren bore thee	G
The poor man and the rescued slave	T
Wept as the broken earth closed o'er thee	G
And grateful tears like summer rain	W
Quickened its dying grass again	X
And there as to some pilgrim shrine	Y
Shall come the outcast and the lowly	G
Of gentle deeds and words of thine	Y
Recalling memories sweet and holy	G
Oh for the death the righteous die	Z
An end like autumn's day declining	B
On human hearts as on the sky	Z
With holier tenderer beauty shining	B
As to the parting soul were given	H
The radiance of an opening heaven	H
As if that pure and blessed light	A2
From off the Eternal altar flowing	B
Were bathing in its upward flight	A2
The spirit to its worship going	B
