Dearest Brother, You have left us,
And our hearts with grief are torn,
But we hope again to meet you,
On that bright celestial morn.

Though your life on earth is ended,
and the race, you now have run,
May your spirit linger near us,
Till we meet in that beyond.

Though the silver chords be severed,
And your face we cannot see;
May the circle be unbroken,
In that bright Eternity.

Then farewell, dear Brother, a loving farewell,
May we meet again where angels dwell,
Where the Saviour shall banish all care and all pain,
And death now divides us will unite us again.
