Author: James T. Fields, 1816-1881 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10025 Meter: 11.11.11.11 First Line: Forget not the dead, who have loved, who have left us Lyrics: 1 Forget not the dead, who have loved, who have left us,
Who bend o’er us now from their bright homes above;
But believe, never doubt, that the God who bereft us
Permits them to mingle with friends they still love.
2 Repeat their fond words, all their noble deeds cherish;
Speak pleasantly of them who left us in tears:
Other joys may be lost, but their names should not perish,
While time bears our feet through the valley of tears. Languages: English Tune Title: EDINBURGH
