Yes; thrilling, glorious thought!
Our loss is heir eternal gain;
A voice from heaven proclaims them blest,
From all their labors now at rest!
A, rea-where not an anxious care
Shall ever mar their calm repose.
No more their bosoms heave with sorrows sigh's,
No more the tears Of anguish dim their eyes.
Brief was their course, but peaceful was its end;
Their sun has set. yet it went down in glory;
Sweet is the radiance Of its twilight hour,
Sweet the rememberance of sohat they were!
Now, brighter suns and brighter spheres
Circling around the Eternal One.
In spisndor earth can never know,
They shine, where no night follows day,
Oh, blest are the love, d,-departed
The pains and sorrows Of this dying life,
Sins oruel power, the DEVILS fiery darts,
Deaths iron hand, shall never reach them mores
Sainted and happy spirits In ''robes
Dipped in the fountain of Saviour's love-"
( Arrsy'd in all the glory Of the upper world,
They "bow before the Throne"
TO strains of triumph heard but in Paradise,
They strike their golden Tyres in praise to Him.
The Lamb of God, the suffering Son OF Man,
Who was for sinners slain.
o the lost we mourn, are happy now!
Heaven is their home; angels and spirits
OF the lust, their friends the God of Lsve,
The Lord of Life and Glory, their fountain
Of eternal bliss.
We will not then repine. 1t were ungratefui
And unkind. For sure, we would not call them
back,
Aoain to suffer in this "vale of tears"
No; they are happy :-and the blessed thought
Our fainting spirits shall sustain and soothe.
In sad bereayements loneliest, darkest hour,
Ws will rejoice. Our hopes shall rest
: Upon that Cross which was their guide through
life,
Their firm support in death. Our feet shall fol-
low
In the path, which led them to the skies.
