1 Where is now our loved one?
Where, O where?
Not where the living weary,
Not where the dying moan;
Not where the day is dreary,
Not where the night is lone.

Where, O where?
Safe in a land immortal,
Safe in a country rare,
Safe in a heavenly portal,
Safe in a mansion fair,
Safe with the joys supernal,
Safe with the bless'd to bow,
Safe with the Love Eternal,
Safe with the Master now,
Safe with the Love Eternal,
Safe with the Master now,
There, yes, there;
There, yes, there!
