| Within my chamber still | B |
| And the heavy shades of midnight | C |
| Each gloomy angle fill | B |
| And my worn and weary watchers | D |
| Scarce dare to move or weep | E |
| For they think that I am buried | F |
| In deep and quiet sleep | E |
| - | |
| But hush what are those voices | G |
| Heard on the midnight air | H |
| Of strange celestial sweetness | I |
| Breathing of love and prayer | H |
| Nearer they grow and clearer | J |
| I hear now what they say | K |
| To the Kingdom of God s glory | L |
| They re calling me away | K |
| - | |
| See my gentle mother softly | L |
| To me approaches now | M |
| What is the change she readeth | N |
| Upon my pale damp brow | M |
| She clasps her hands in anguish | O |
| Whose depth no words might say | K |
| Has she too heard the voices | G |
| That are calling me away | K |
| - | |
| The father fond of my children | P |
| First sole love of my youth | N |
| The loving the gentle hearted | Q |
| And full of manly truth | N |
| Is kneeling now beside me | L |
| Beseeching me to stay | K |
| Oh tis agony to tell him | R |
| They re calling me away | K |
| - | |
| If earthly love could conquer | J |
| The mighty power of Death | N |
| His love would stay the current | S |
| Of failing strength and breath | N |
| That voice whose tender fondness | I |
| So long has been my stay | K |
| Should tempt me from the voices | G |
| That are calling me away | K |
| - | |
| Ah they bring my children to me | L |
| That loved and lovely band | T |
| And with wistful awe struck faces | G |
| Around my couch they stand | T |
| And I strain each gentle darling | A |
| To me with wailing cry | U |
| As I for the first time murmur | J |
| My God tis hard to die | U |
| - | |
| But O hark Those strains of Heaven | P |
| Sound louder in mine ear | V |
| Whisp ring Thy God Thy Father | J |
| Will guard those children dear | W |
| Louder they grow now drowning | A |
| All sounds of mortal birth | N |
| And in wild triumphant sweetness | I |
| Bear me aloft from earth | N |
