asked his wife to come and sit by him, and for more than two hours chatted
happily, and quietly told her life here would not be long for him; and remarked
that the passing away would be for him Joy and Peace and Rest; selecting his
songs to be sung, saying, let it be singing rather than weeping.

Peaceful, lying where they fell,
O! weary hands, Farewell, Farewell.
