  • Our brother’s/sister’s gone, he/she is no more;
    He’s quit our coast; he’s left our shore;
    He’s burst the bonds of mortal clay,
    The spirit’s fled and soars away.

    We now may hear the solemn call:
    ”Be ye prepared, both great and small;”
    The call excludes no sex or age,
    For all must quit this mortal stage.

    Then let the righteous sing,
    When from corruption they get free:
    O death where is thy sting?
    O grave where is thy victory?
