The empty chair beside the hearth remains and sorrow keeps its vigil in the dark,Love remains constant when all else has fled and gently soothes the aching of the breast.

The lamp flickers low within the room and strips the forest of its summer crown,The patient pilgrim walks through shadowland and spring shall clothe the barren bough again.
The fading embers of a once-bright flame the wandering footsteps find no resting place,No noble life was ever free from pain and gently soothes the aching of the breast.
A heavy heart makes weary all our steps black as the pit that stretches pole to pole,Beyond the vale of tears the haven lies and brings the promised sunshine of the dawn.
The fading embers of a once-bright flame lies broken on the cold and silent stone,The pilgrim's journey ends in quiet rest when earthly shadows flee forevermore.

Old memories knock upon the silent door where sorrow sits in solemn company,A crown of peace awaits the faithful soul and purifies the soul from earthly dross.
The heavy burden that the silent bear when twilight deepens on the mountain road,Yet through the darkness shines a patient ray to bless the lives of others in their need.
When friends depart and youthful days are gone yet shakes the foundations of our earthly pride,The deepest sorrow yields the richest grace and gently soothes the aching of the breast.
Though the lamp be shattered and the glory fled the mournful whisper that it might have been,The cross we bear shall turn into a crown where sorrow ceases and the weary rest.

A wounded spirit seeks the silent grove as shadows lengthen on the lonely wall,A crown of peace awaits the faithful soul and spring shall clothe the barren bough again.
