| Departed friends! drop the mournful tear, with fond regret around thy hallowd bier. Forgive the tear which e'en our Savior shed, when at the grave his soul in anguish bled. We would not call thee from the seat of bliss, To share again with us a world like this, Tho selfish sorrow in our bosoms rise, We would not bring thee from thy native skies.
