Rest In Peace
Rest in peace, how much this says Be free ofpain, no more to weep
Fine joy that never ends, Possess new life that here you could not keep.
Rest in peace, and though we grieve, Reachingfor your hand in vain Ourfaith is such that we believe That all of us shall meet again Rest in peace, the drums are still,
The smoke has cleared, the battles done. And now forever yours to keep
The golden prize that you have won. Against the sunrise on the hill
Your colors wave upon the breeze, With shield ofhonor, lance oftruth You overcome with such as these No dirge ofsorrow shall we play For one who goes to meet the Lord
Could but we all heavens guest.
