By Nebo's lonely mountain,
On this side Jordan's wave,
In a vale in the land of Moab,
There lies a lonely grave;

And no man saw it e'er,
For the angels of God upturned the sod
And laid the dead man there.

Fast by a brook or fountain's murmuring wave;
And many an evening sun shine sweetly on my grave.
