    kindly deed,
    Oft comfort he brought to a home in need,
    Kind simply, generous loving Irish heart,
    'Tis sad from our midst you should depart,
    But God in His mercy knoweth best,
    He hath brought you to mingle with the blest.
    Thank God with our kindred you slumber deep,
    Where many a friend o'er your grave shall weep,
    Yet some day we'll be with you, one and all,
    There, to await the trumpets call.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
