Sweet was the journey to the sky
The wondrous prophet tried;
'Climb up the mount,' says God, 'and die!
The prophet climbed and died.
Softly his fainting head he lay
Upon his Maker's breast;
His Maker kissed his soul away
And laid his flesh to rest.
In God's own arms he left the breath
That God's own spirit gave.
His was the noblest road to death,
And his the sweetest grave.
