| The day returns beloved friend | C |
| When in thy Mother's arms | D |
| Thou a fair gift from Heaven wert laid | E |
| In all thine infant charms | D |
| That day with cloudless sky returns | F |

| Thy strong and ardent mind | K |

| Their children though in manners rude | O |
| And ignorant in speech | N |

| And all thy many deeds and words | P |
| Of friendship's earnest part | Q |
| Are with a never fading trace | R |

| Who was thine early choice | T |
| And mid thy blooming youth didst bend | C |
| A listener to His voice | T |

| So thy firm faith without a fear | S |
| Launch'd forth on Jordan's wave | U |
| The victor palm branch in thy hand | V |
| That o'er stern Death He gave | U |
| And may we meet beloved friend | C |
| At God's appointed day | B |
| Where every care and pain of earth | W |
| Have fled like dreams away | B |
