[Yes holy be thy resting place]
Yes holy be thy resting place
Wherever thou may'st lie
The sweetest winds breathe on thy face
The softest of the sky
Wherever thou may'st lie
The sweetest winds breathe on thy face
The softest of the sky
And will not guardian Angels send
Kind dreams and thoughts of love
Though I no more may watchful bend
Thy [longed] repose above?
Kind dreams and thoughts of love
Though I no more may watchful bend
Thy [longed] repose above?
And will not heaven itself bestow
A beam of glory there
That summer's grass more green may grow
And summer's flowers more fair?
A beam of glory there
That summer's grass more green may grow
And summer's flowers more fair?

Farewell farewell 'tis hard to part
Yet loved one it must be
I would not rend another heart
Not even by blessing thee
Yet loved one it must be
I would not rend another heart
Not even by blessing thee
Go we must break affection's chain
Forget the hopes of years
Nay [grieve] not willest thou remain
To waken wilder tears
Forget the hopes of years
Nay [grieve] not willest thou remain
To waken wilder tears
This [herald] breeze with thee and me
Roved in the dawning day
And thou shouldest be where it shall be
Ere evening far away
Roved in the dawning day
And thou shouldest be where it shall be
Ere evening far away
