You truly were a Saint
a martyr now you lie;
Your spirit will return to him
as mortal flesh does die.
You walked and walked
among the plains
and suffered a few
too many pains.
Despite this
you were filled with song,
and praised his goodness
all along.
You taught your children
in their youth
his loving words
and all their truth.
A joyful fam’ly you have raised,
now as you lie
all shall be praised.
You battled onward
’gainst all sin;
and fought ‘longside
your brethren.
You loved the lord
all of your days,
and died to keep
his holy ways.
In heav’n we’ll greet, but ‘til then;
God be with you ‘til we meet again.
