| His errand hath been well and early done | B |
| And early hath he gone to his reward | C |
| He shall come no more forth but to his sleep | D |
| Hath silently lain down and so shall rest | E |
| - | |
| Would ye bewail our brother He hath gone | F |
| To Abraham's bosom He shall no more thirst | G |
| Nor hunger but forever in the eye | H |
| Holy and meek of Jesus he may look | I |
| Unchided and untempted and unstained | J |
| Would ye bewail our brother He hath gone | F |
| To sit down with the prophets by the clear | K |
| And crystal waters he hath gone to list | L |
| Isaiah's harp and David's and to walk | M |
| With Enoch and Elijah and the host | N |
| Of the just men made perfect He shall bow | O |
| At Gabriel's Hallelujah and unfold | P |
| The scroll of the Apocalypse with John | Q |
| And talk of Christ with Mary and go back | R |
| To the last supper and the garden prayer | S |
| With the belov'd disciple He shall hear | T |
| The story of the Incarnation told | P |
| By Simeon and the Triune mystery | U |
| Burning upon the fervent lips of Paul | V |
| He shall have wings of glory and shall soar | W |
| To the remoter firmaments and read | A |
| The order and the harmony of stars | X |
| And in the might of knowledge he shall bow | O |
| In the deep pauses of Archangel harps | Y |
| And humble as the Seraphim shall cry | H |
| Who by his searching finds thee out Oh God | Z |
| - | |
| There shall he meet his children who have gone | F |
| Before him and as other years roll on | Q |
| And his loved flock go up to him his hand | A2 |
| Again shall lead them gently to the Lamb | B2 |
| And bring them to the living waters there | S |
| - | |
| Is it so good to die and shall we mourn | C2 |
| That he is taken early to his rest | E |
| Tell me Oh mourner for the man of God | Z |
| Shall we bewail our brother that he died | D2 |
