| Oh sorrowing Daughter left alone | B |
| In home's deserted sphere | C |
| Where every object group'd around | D |
| In pleasant room or garden's bound | D |
| Is twined by links of sight or sound | D |
| With the lost Mother dear | C |
| - | |
| Yet take sweet thoughts thy grief to soothe | E |
| Of what she was below | F |
| Her years to faithful duty given | G |
| Her comfort in the Book of Heaven | G |
| Her ready trust when life was riven | G |
| To Christ her Lord to go | F |
| - | |
| And take sweet memories of the care | H |
| That smoothed her couch of pain | I |
| The grateful love that o'er her way | J |
| Kept tender vigil night and day | J |
| And let its pure reflected ray | J |
| Thy drooping heart sustain | I |
| - | |
| So shall thy faith the pang assuage | K |
| That heaves thy mourning breast | L |
| For nearer brings each setting sun | G |
| Their blessed meeting who have won | G |
| The plaudit of the Judge Well done | G |
| Come enter to my rest | L |
