Epitaph To A Friend lyrics

An honest man here lies at rest

As e'er God with His image blest

The friend of man, the friend of truth

The friend of age, and the guide of youth

Few hearts like his, with virtue warm'd

Few heads with knowledge so inform'd

If there's another world, he lives in bliss

If there is none, he made the best of this

We shared a dream, we laughed and cried

We've been through darkness, walked in light

He had a brother's fearless mind

When others left he stood with pride

Let's raise the glass, put pain aside

Drink up, til' all the tears have dried

A joyful heart should beat within your chest

Until the day it goes to rest

Let's raise the glass, put pain aside

Drink up, til' all the tears have dried

A joyful heart should beat within your chest

Until the day it goes to rest

Until the day we all will go to rest
