Contralto Solo:

Weep ye not for the dead, neither bemoan him.
And sorrow not ev'n as others which have no hope,
Weep ye not, sorrow not,
Even as others which have no hope:
For thus saith the Lord,
thus saith the Lord,
I will turn their mourning into joy,
And make them rejoice from their sorrow.
Thus saith the Lord,
I will turn their mourning into joy,
And make them rejoice from their sorrow.
Weep ye not for the dead,
weep ye not for the dead.
