He is gone! a cloud of sight Hath received him from our sight; Gone to Heaven, where mortal eye Cannot reach the radiant sky; Through the veil of time and space Passed into the holiest place; All his toil and sorrow done, All the battle fought and won.
He is gone! and we remain In this world of sin and pain; In the void which he has felt, On this earth of him bereft; We have still his work to do, We can still his path pursue; We can follow him below, And his bright example show.
