Author: A. S. K.; Clara M. Brooks Hymnal: Songs of Grace and Glory #375 (1918) First Line: Tenderly lay her to rest 'neath the sod Lyrics: 1 Tenderly lay her to rest ‘neath the sod; Angels, look lovingly down! But the fair spirit hath flown to her God— Gone to receive a bright crown; In the fair fields of the blessed to roam, Singing with angels so fair; Dwelling with Christ in his beautiful home, All its bright splendor to share. 2 Why should we linger to weep round the tomb? Sorrow shall vex her no more; Never a shadow of trouble or gloom Reaches yon heavenly shore. There with the glorified spirits to reign Thro’ the bright ages above; Free from all sorrow and sickness and pain, Resting in heavenly love. 3 Safe in the arms of her Savior she lies— Wonderful peace to her giv’n! In that blest mansion the soul never dies; Still we may love her in heav’n. Feelingly near us her spirit shall be, Tenderly whispering, “Come!” Then at the portals our dear one we’ll see, Lovingly guiding us home.

Clara McAlister Brooks

1882 - 1980 Person Name: Clara M. Brooks Author of "Tenderly Lay Her to Rest" in Songs of Grace and Glory Birth: Oct. 9, 1882, Parke County, Indiana, USA Death: Mar. 20, 1980, Tampa, Hillsborough County, Florida, USA Clara McAlister Brooks was one of our early songwriters and four of her pieces are in the current hymnal. From the earliest days of the movement we have had women prominent in all forms of our ministry—missionaries, evangelists, teachers, pastors, and God has honored their sacrificial labors. For that reason we can stand in amazement when here, in the 1970s, such old-line denominations as the Episcopal church are being racked with controversy over whether the ordination of women is permissible. But before we gather Pharisaic robes about ourselves, perhaps we need to look candidly at the way in which we, too, succumbed to some of the cultural and prejudicial patterns of later decades! --www.whwomenclergy.org/articles/
