lyrics

Silently, Silently
Sleep the peaceful dead

Mournfully, Sighingly
Tears o'er them are shed

Though the dust to dust returneth
Yet their spirits now have gone

To the god of love who giveth
And their works do follow on

Silently to rest we lay them
Empty is their house of clay

Unto god the soul returneth
Silently to pass away
