weep not
beloved, by faithful bedside
watch was
kept and angels wept, ‘twas his to decide
no tears, no
doubt, no mourning for the living
spirit cried
out, unfettered faith all forgiving
his beloved
one, whose tethered heart knew home
drifted not
from worldly bed but into life alone
awake oh
sleeper, rise sweet sister
unencumbered
will you dance as victor
released now
from affliction, she is whole
dancing unashamedly,
unhindered soul
body surrendered,
the heart knows life
and with
death bury strife
weep not
beloved, the dawn is neigh
pain and anguish now subside
celebrate
here a life well given
speak words of
grace, for he is risen
