The unrolcnting hand Of death
In cruel wrath this day,
From parents kind Fr '.>cting arms
\ child has born away.
A child who never knew the ways
OF ioul computing vice,
But spen: its few ana harmless days
With God and man ut peace.
One week ago. it's pleasant smiles
And prHtiinE infant voice,
Ch2crGd up its parents fUnlrSt hop
And made their hearts r. iUi U.
But now the cruel hand ofdcath
,tla> laid the intnnt low ::
Through uuprOv 'ked malicious wrath,
lie struck the fatal blow.
It's parents neverAFaorc shall sec,
Its lively sparkling eyes
no more behold its smiling face,
But NOUN its loss with signs
We should net wish to call it hack.
To suffer z eff and wo,
Where sin and death triumphant reiVu
Through this world below.
Its form, now on the coolug board,
We soon shall be- away
Unto it's long resting place,
To lie beneath the clay.
Bright angels clad in shining robes
Through pure celestial love-
Have born its soul to wor' Is Of b1;.s
To dwell with Christ above. ''
Its soul shall bask in Heavens ligbt
Be free from earthly fears.
And shine with dazzling lustre br ,b4
Through endless rolling years. 7D''
Grief never moro shall search its bre.st
Earth's woo it never shall SOC
But dwell above i'll endless rost
Through all eternity.
In worlds above the sky,
And taste with it the pleasures sve.,
OF endless bliss on high.
