Sweetly in Jesus arms they sleep

_Death to all

Here Called from Labor to Reform

A weary mason resting lies

Till the last awful trumpet blows

And bids each human atom Rise

 

Thus shall the suns Of faith and light

Whose sign Is faith Whose tokens love

Receive the sound Then wing their flight

To join the Lodge of Saints above

"Weep not for me my dear Birdseye

My soul is risen to Christ on high

Rejoice, believe thy soul and save

My body rests now in the grave

My bodys mouldering in the dust

My souls rejoicing with the just.

Angels and saints all join the throng

The song of Moses and the lamb."
