Another tie is broke that binds earth's spirits here Another flower hath withered ere closed the dying year. Another home is beaten with waves of sorrow high. Yet Jesus whispers sweetly, 'Be not afraid 'tis I.' Oh trifle not with Jesus, his spirit do not greive (sic) You too must bid farewell to earth your dearest friends must leave. Remember then this voice of death that when for you tis nigh, Soft music notes will float around, 'Be not afraid 'tis I.3'
