1. The family of the beloved wept as he departed,
And went forth, attaining mercy and bliss.

2. A pillar - torn down by the storm of demise,
Yet his legacy remains, undestroyed.

3. He was a refuge in adversity, sought
For good, hoped for by all the great.

4. He lived in righteousness his allotted time
Until the destined end came to him.

5. He obeyed the Caller's summons and came
A noble guest, in the neighborhood of the noble.

6. And there did history truthfully proclaim:
Lazarus entered Abraham's bosom.
