WEEP NOT
Weep not the loved ones whose bodies we view,
For death should bring joy to me and to you.

The Pains of death are past,
Labor and sorrow ceases;
And life's long warfare closed at last,
His soul is found in peace.
Soldier of Christ, well done,
Praise be the new employ
And while eternal ages run,
Rest in thy Savior's joy
