| Gather o'er a slumbering world | B |
| And the banner folds of darkness | C |
| Are in gloomy pomp unfurled | B |
| Think lone watcher pale and tearful | D |
| In thy sad unpitied lot | E |
| By the death couch waking weeping | F |
| There is One who slumbers not | E |
| One who though no mourning brother | G |
| Share thy vigils lone and drear | G |
| Loving pitying as no other | G |
| Loves or pities watches near | G |

| When weighed down by heavy anguish | L |
| Waking sad at midnight lone | M |
| Sorrowing mourner thou dost languish | L |
| For affection's missing tone | M |
| When thy heart o'er buried treasures | N |
| In its uncheered misery weeps | O |
| Think that gently watching o'er thee | G |
| Is an eye that never sleeps | O |
| And above the mournful shadows | A |
| Lift thy heart so lone and riven | P |
| Up to Him who 'mid thy sorrows | A |
| Wooes thee still to hope and Heaven | P |
