May you pass gently to the peaceful night
Though weeping eyes might wish that you could stay;
Who fought against dark days and cherished light.
Through raging storms you fought the valiant fight
And now beloved, Death will not delay
May you pass gently to the peaceful night.
We all remember how you did delight
To dance with sparkles in your eyes, as they
Who fought against dark days and cherished light.
And ag-ed now your flesh in mortal plight
Cannot keep you from eternal day
May you pass gently to the peaceful night.
And whisper sweetly from the exalted height
Words of courage to us left in the fray
Who fight against dark days and cherish light.
So we might long endure and reunite
Worthy that our children too might say:
May you pass gently to the peaceful night
Who fought against dark days and cherished light.
