"Now his work on Earth is done,
And his path of life is trod.
His soul is resting in the
Loving Arms of God.
Rest in peace your labor is ended.
You fought a good fight,
You have finished the course,
You kept the Faith.
Hence forth there is laid up
For you a Crown of Righteousness,
Which the Lord, the righteous Judge,
Shall give you at that day."
