| I thank Thee Father that I feel Thee near | B |
| That it is hand of Thine that s raised to smite | A |
| Oh make Thy loving kindness to appear | B |
| Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right | A |

| Poor woe worn watchers he is going home | C |
| No skill can save him and no love can keep | D |
| He served his generation he is gone | E |
| And gathered to his fathers falls asleep | D |
| - | |
| We've bitter cups to drain but his is dry | F |
| Burdens of care but care has left his breast | A |
| Tears but they never more shall dim his eye | F |
| Labour but he has entered into rest | A |
| - | |
| Oh to be with him toil and care all past | A |
| Sleeping dear mother earth within thy breast | A |
| I too could lay my hand in thine O death | G |
| And gladly enter where the weary rest | A |
