Gracefully

Of endless love, a beauty of great renown, Of treasures mightyer than a regal crown Fragrance spray of sweet nectar's love You’re God’s gift from heaven above In silence embraced by a spirit kindred to my own, Henceforth no longer to walk alone For 'tis thy love that defines my worth ‘Twill not vanish like time on earth Though my youthful years have dwindled down ‘Tis an everlasting love I've truly found O’ most radiant essence from heaven above Descended like a God's pure love To obtain a great and gracious noble life Hence to endure this mortal strife Now meekly search your lovely face In memory of sweet and tender grace A virtuous offer mercy to extend Where light and knowledge will attend O’ of slumbers gentle peaceful rest Unquestioned welcome and truly blessed ‘Tis from God’s kind and gentle grace We hope to once again behold your face
