X:135 T:Oh, Lovely Appearance of Death S:Digital Tradition, lovlyapp N:Written ten years before the Reverend George Whitfield's death, to be sung at his own funeral. B:From Our Singing Country, Lomax D:Recorded by Hally Wood Z:dt:lovlyapp M:3/4 L:1/8 Q:1/4=100 W:Oh, lovely appearance of death, W:What sight upon earth is so fair W:Not all the gay pageants that breathe W:Can with a dead body compare. W:In solemn delight I survey W:A corpse when the spirit is fled W:In love with the beautiful clay, W:And longing to lie in its stead. W: W:Its languishing pain is at rest, W:Its aching and aching are o'er; W:The quiet immovable breast W:Is pained by affliction no more. W:The heart it no longer receives W:Of trouble and torturing pain; W:It ceases to flutter and beat, W:It never shall flutter again.
