ANGEL OF MERCY

When we have traveled the road of strife

with all our hopes and fears,

Death comes to end our weary life

while we shed happy tears.



Oh, Death is a thing of beauty,

like a sparkling drop of dew.

It takes us when our duty

here on Earth is through.



Death is an angel of mercy

who comes to take us all.

Death is the Hand of God

which carries us to His hall.
