Soon after setting of the Sun
that ruler of the day
God sent his greatfull summons down
to fleet her soul away

Shes gone were all Gods children are
Shes gone from us tis true
Shes gone to Christ were angels share
And bid the world adieu

Soon after setting of the Sun
That ruler of the day
God sent his greatfull summons down


this Blessed youth hath sen the day
that Nations fear to try
the Lord hath fetch her soul away
to taste Eternity

twas from the dust at the first award
Yea from the Earth she came
And to the dust though in the Lord
Go Earth to Earth again

She is past the glomy vail of Death
Recievd that Blessed fall
Where angels stand for to attest
Admittance to her soul

While parent stood with drooping head
his tears ran dreeping down
Blest angels did perfume the bed
he soul with glory crown

Why should ye mourn ye parent now
Why should your heart repine
With holy sob with whom ye vow
be always of that mind
