Softly let the balmy sunshine
  Play around my dying bed,
E'er the dimly lighted valley
  I with lonely feet must tread.

Light! more light! for Death is weaving
  Shadows 'round my waning sight,
And I fain would gaze upon him
  Through a stream of earthly light.

Composition:

    Set to music by Matthew Emery (b. 1991), "Earthly light ", 2013 [ SA chorus and piano ]
