| Gone pure in heart unto thy fitting home | B |
| Where nought of ill can follow O'er thy life | C |
| There swept no stain and o'er its placid close | D |
| No shadow | E |
| As for us who saw thee move | F |
| From childhood onward loving and serene | G |
| To every duty faithful we who feel | H |
| The bias toward self too often make | I |
| Our course unequal or beset with thorns | J |
| Give thanks to Him the Giver of all good | K |
| For what thou wert but most for what thou art | L |

| Thy meek and reverent nature cheer'd the heart | L |
| Of hoary Age even in thine early bloom | M |
| And with sweet tenderness of filial care | N |
| And perfect sympathy thy shielding arm | O |
| Pillow'd a Mother's head till life went out | P |
| We yield thee back with sound of holy hymns | Q |
| Flowers in thy hand and bosom parting gifts | R |
| Of Spring that makes our earth so beautiful | S |
| Faintly prefiguring thine eternal gain | T |
| Of flowers that never fade and skies that need | U |
| Not sun nor moon to light them | V |
| So farewell | W |
| Our grief is selfish yet it hath its way | X |
| Nor can we stand beside thine open grave | Y |
| Without a tear | N |
| Yet still doth chasten'd faith | Z |
| Ask help of God to render back with praise | A2 |
| A soul to which He gave the victory | B2 |
