| But he thy darling led up by the Master | E |
| Is with the living not among the dead | S |
| - | |
| Thy little ones within the jasper portals | T |
| There by the crystal sea he learns to sing | B |

| Promoted to the presence of the King | B |
| - | |
| The child is safe within the Father's mansion | G |

| On which the Master will soft music render | E |
| Soothing with heaven's airs thy pathway dim | V |
| On which love's messages all sweet and tender | E |
| Shall run between thee and thy angel kin | D |
| - | |
| And they will draw thee upward growing stronger | E |
| When flesh and heart will one day faint and fail | W |
| And thou wilt care for earthly things no longer | E |
| For all thy treasures are within the veil | W |
