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
