| | | NOW dimly thro’ our tears we see his Face, | |
| And treasure up his mem’ry in our hearts, | |
| He stood in front a model Priest and Man, | |
| Grand with a righteous energy for good, | |
| Resplendent with a love for all his kind; | 5 |
| But most of all his great love for his Race. | |
| No work too hard—no cause that wanted help, | |
| But he the foremost one in doing good. | |
| Honesty and Manliness and Truth, | |
| A trinity of virtues joined in him. | 10 |
| Too soon for us—but not too soon for him | |
| Has he been taken into Rest and Life. | |
| For that perfection which he sought in us | |
| He now has found in Immortality. | |
| Dry up our tears—our God hath taken him; | 15 |
| He knoweth best. And when we go to rest | |
| May it be found his bright example made | |
| Us worthy of joining him on High. | | | | |
