Death's Victory

Death, where is thy sting?
And the grave, where is thy victory?
Another soul has fallen into eternity,
And the bells doth ring.
Wipe away the tears from the eyes.
Follow after the hearse,
And say your goodbyes.
There is no more curse.
One day you will be together again.
Free at last! Free at last!
Away from the ravages of sin.
Be not downcast.
Death, where is thy sting?
And the grave, where is thy victory?
