[Thou art gone to the grave, but we will not deplore thee]

[_]

The following poem is scored for music in the source text.

Thou art gone to the grave, but we will not deplore thee;
Tho' sorrows and darkness encompass the tomb;
The Saviour has pass'd thro' its portals before thee,
And the lamp of his life is thy guide thro' the gloom,
