No more we’ll hear thy tender voice In accents sweet and low No more we’ll hear thee plead with us Thy children here below

For thou art called away from us Thy time on earth is o’er Thou’rt gone to be with Him who loved Across the Jordan’s roar

And now beyond the swelling flood Thy soul shall know no pain No sickness, sorrow, care or death Shall visit thee again

With patience did’st thou bear thy cross While on thy bed thou lay And waited many a weary hour On view that blest day

When God should send his angels forth To bear thy soul on high To praise the Lamb thou loved, amidst The glories of the sky

And how thy frail storm beaten bark Has anchored sure and fast Beside the shining gates of pearl Where thou shall rest at last

A few short years will soon roll on And we on high must soar Where death divided friends we’ll meet Will meet to part no more.
