Grace and peace be yours, the dead Greet me with open arms, silently crying Ever faithful on to me, even when you are dead You, whom I loved My joy
This terrible writhe I rot away Oh, hear my prayer My soul is trying to slip away I...I die Pray for my soul All hope is gone Agony, please set me
First came the wings, then came peace An angel sweetly embracing me As the clouds continued to thicken As far as eyes could see Farewell, I loved you
