Full Lyrics
1. And is the lovely shadow fled,
The blooming wonder of her years,
So soon enshrined among the dead
She justly claims our pious tears,
Who to those heavenly spirits join’d
Hath left our wretched world behind.
2. Her early shortlived excellence
With meek submission we bemoan,
Snatch’d in a fatal moment hence,
Gone from our arms, to Jesus gone,
To heighten by her swift remove
The grief below, and joy above.
