"Kind parents! why those tears?
And why those bursting sighs?
No weeping here bedims
Your little loved one's eyes.
 
Dear parents! weep no more
For her you loved so well,
For glories here are mine,
And joys I may not tell.
 
Oh! live and serve the Lord,
The dear Redeemer love.
Then when you've done with earth,
I'll welcome you above."
