Dearest brother thou hast left us,
For a better land above;
It is God who hath bereft us,
He would call thee to thy love.
May the Lord in kindness greet thee,
And receive thee into rest;
And may we strive there to meet thee
With the sanctified and blest.
Rest then, brother, rest above then—
From thy labours here below;
We will gladly meet thee there, when
We from earth to heaven go.
There is joy and sweet communion,
For the righteous ones above!
It will be all peace and union,
To those who their Saviour love.
