Father, thou has left us lonely, Sorrow fills our heart to-day, But beyond this vale of sorrow Tears will all be wiped away. Father, thou art sweetly resting, Cold may be this earthly tomb; But the angels sweetly wispered [sic], Come and live with us at home. Father, thou art sweetly resting, On the lovely Saviour breast; Where the wicked cease from troubling, And the weary are at rest. Father, thou art sweetly resting, Here thy toils and cares are o'er; Pain and sickness, death and sorrow never can distress thee more.
