First Line: Where the faded flower shall freshen,

Where the faded flower shall freshen,
Freshen nevermore to fade ;
Where the shaded sky shall brighten,
Brighten nevermore to shade;
Where the morn shall wake in gladness,
And the noon the joy prolong ;
Where the daylight dies in fragrance,
'Mid the burst of holy song:

We shall meet and we shall rest
'Mid the holy and the blest ;
We shall meet on yonder shore
With the loved ones gone before;
We shall meet and we shall rest
'Mid the holy and the blest.

2 Where the love that here we lavish
On the withering leaves of time
Shall have fadeless flowers to fix on
In an ever spring-bright clime ;
Where we find the joy of loving
As we never loved before ;
Loving on, unchilled, unhindered,
Loving once and evermore :

3 Where no shadow shall bewilder,
Where life's vain parade is o'er,
Where the sleep of sin is broken,
And the dreamer dreams no more;
Where the child has found the mother,
Where the mother finds the child,
Where the loved ones all are gathered
That were scattered on the wild:
