AS the bird to It's Sheltering nest
Where the storms on the hills is abroad,
So her spirit hath flown from this world of unrest,
To reposc on the bosom of God ....
Where the sorrows of earth never more .s
May fling o'er its brightness stain;
Where, in rapture and love, it shall ever adore,
With gladneSs unmingled with pain;
And its thirst shall be slaked by the waters which
spring H..
Like river of light, from the throne of the Krya!
There is weeping on earth for the lost;
There is bowling in grief to the ground;
But rejoicing and praise mid the sanctifed host,
For spirit in Paradise found
Though brightness hath passed from the earth
Yet star is born in the sky,
And soul hath gone home to- the land of lis birth,
Where are pleasures and fulness of Joy
And new harp is strung, and new song is given
To the breezcs that float Ger the gardens OF
Heaven
