1 Cease, my heart, these earthly clingings,
Life is but a fleeting day;
One by one its links are broken,
One by one they pass away.

Refrain:
Far beyond this world of changes,
Far beyond this world of care,
We shall find our missing treasures,
In our Father’s mansion fair.

2 Faithful friends around us gather,
Faithful friends our footsteps guide;
But how many more are waiting,
Waiting on the other side. [Refrain]

3 Call not back the dear departed,
Anchored safe where storms are o’er;
On the border land we left them,
Soon to meet, and part no more. [Refrain]
