     It is sometimes hard for us to understand
          why these things come.
     Not now, but in the coming years, it may 
          be in the better land;
     We'll read the meaning of our tears
     And there, sometime we'll understand.

     Peaceful be thy silent slumber,
     Peaceful in thy grave so low;
     Thou no more will join our number,
     Thou no more our sorrows know.

     Yet again we hope to meet thee,
     When the day of life is fled;
     And in heaven with joy to greet thee,
     Where no farewell tears are shed.
