1. Along the silent path
By viewless spirits trod,
Another little traveler
Hath gone to be with God.
Chorus:
Bid us, O Lord, to go, (to go,)
Or bid us here to stay; (to stay;)
We’ll walk with thee while here below,
Or up the silent way.
2. Gone up from human love
To higher love and care;
From pain below to peace above,
In mansions, oh, so fair!
3. Attune our hearts, O Lord,
Tho’ they with sorrow swell,
To say this meek, submissive word—
“Thou doest all things well.”
Coda:
Farewell, darling, fare thee well.
