| Rest pilgrim here Your journey o'er | C |
| Life's weary cares ye heed no more | D |
| Time's sun has set in yonder west | E |

| Safe in the keeping of the sod | G |
| And the sure promises of God | G |

| Dark is your home yet round the tomb | H |
| Tokens of hope sweet flowerets bloom | H |
| And cherished memories soft and dear | I |
| Blest as their fragrance linger here | J |

| We speak yet ye are dumb How dread | K |
| This deep stern silence of the Dead | K |
| The whispers of the Grave severe | I |
| The listening Soul alone can hear | J |
