Calmly She Faded

Calmly she fad­ed as fades the sum­mer

Sweetly she whis­pered

Soon I’ll be there;

Fair was the morn­ing

ear­ly de­part­ed

Brighter thy noon­day

Heav’n dawns for thee;

So ’twas she fad­ed

as fades the sum­mer

So ’twas she whis­pered

Heav’n dawns for me.

Sadly around her

warm tears were fall­ing

Gently to soothe her

kind friends were near;

Sweetly she mur­mured

Cease

cease your weep­ing

Heav’ns gate is op­en

an­gels are here!

So ’twas she faded

as fades the sum­mer

So ’twas she whis­pered

An­gels are here.

Calm as the ev­en­ing

clear as the morn­ing

Bright hopes of glo­ry to her were giv’n;

Earth’s charms were fad­ing

an­gels were sing­ing

Said she at part­ing

Meet me in Heav’n.

So ’twas she fad­ed

as fades the sum­mer

So ’twas she whis­pered

Meet me in Heav’n.

Joys of the fu­ture home with her Sav­ior

Where all is peace­ful for ev­er more;

Smiling and cheer­ful

lisped she to dear ones

Come to the Sav­ior

Je­sus says come.

So ’twas she faded

as fades the sum­mer

So ’twas she whis­pered

Je­sus says come.
