Dear Friend

Sleep, sleep, sweet angel

Sleep, Samuel, friend of God

You worked so hard, so hard, from head to toe

Your suffering is done, we'll no longer mourn

But now he sleeps with Christ, sweet angel of Revelations 10

We know that he lives in holy peace and we'll see him again

We cried so much with pain, December 8th

But through another great, God gave us strength

But now we rise and shine through another elected of the divine

This made us consecrate our soul to find peace once more

So now, so now, so now, with this great savior

Who breathes inside our soul, God's hope and peace

Nathan, Nathan, Nathan, you're so very needed

By you, our chained up smile has now been released

We all want you fine, we all need your eyes

Because you're the apostle of consolation who saved our lives

And if you smile, then we'll smile too

We say this with love and recognition, and your God knows it's true

And now just like St. John, we'll lay our heads upon his chest

This makes us consecrate our soul, dear friend of God

And now we cry of love in prayer with holy gratitude

This made us consecrate our souls to find peace once more

And now just like St. John, we'll lay our heads upon his chest

This made us consecrate our souls, dear friend of God

And now we cry of love in prayer with holy gratitude

This made us consecrate our souls to find peace once more

So rest, brave savior, we all believed in you as soon as you spoke
