To The Memory Of Rev. C. M. Long
We have lost our darling brother He has bid us all adieu He has gone to live in heaven And his form is losst to view An angel came down for him And removed him from our flock Peaceful be thy silent slumber Peaceful in thy grave so low Thou no more will join our number Thou no more our sorrows know Yet again we hope to meet him When the day of life is fled And in Heaven with joy to greet him Where no farewell tears are shed
