Pleyel's Hymn,
a dirge

Key of G Maj

1.
Solemn strikes the fun'ral chime,
Notes of our departing time;
As we journey here below,
Thru' a pilgrimage of woe.

2.
Mortals, now indulge a tear,
For mortality is here;
See how wide her trophies wave,
O'er the slumbers of the grave.

3.
Here another guest we bring,
Seraphs of celestial wing!
To our funeral altar come,
Waft a friend and brother home!

4.
Lord of all! Below-above,
Fill our hearts with truth and love!
As dissolves our earthly tie,
Take us to Thy Lodge on High.
