Away from his home and the friends of his youth

Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1412 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Away from his home and the friends of his youth, He hastened, the herald of mercy and truth; For the love of his Lord, and to seek for the lost; Soon, alas! was his fall; but he died at his post. Soon, alas! was his fall; but he died at his post. 2 The stranger's eye wept, that in life's brightest bloom, One gifted so highly should sink to the tomb: For in ardor he led in the van of the host, And he fell like a soldier, he died at his post. 3 He wept not, himself, that his warfare was done: The battle was fought, and the victory won; But he whispered of those whom his heart loved the most, "Tell my brethren for me, that I died at my post." 4 He asked not a stone to be sculptured with verse; He asked not that fame should his merits rehearse; But he asked as a boon, this he coveted most That his brethren might know that he died at his post. 5 How can we the words of our brother forget? Oh, no! they are fresh in our memory yet: And example so sacred shall never be lost, We will fall in the work we will die at our post.
