LINES

Written on the death Of Rev. ELTAH O. SroSE,
who died at Bloomfield, Jefferson county, o.,
Oct, 18th, 1857.
Benea III the earth's cold clods now lies
A Father dear to me.
His spirit dwells aboye the skies,
From earth and sorrow free.
A watchman he, on Zion's walls
Full fifty years did stand,
Died happy in saviour's love
And dwells in Canaan's land.
Though five long years have fled and gone
Since last l saw his face,
I see him now in my minds eye,
And every feature tlace.
OH mother dear dry up your tears,
Our father dwells above,
He's looking out for you to COME
And bask in Jesus love.
There you shall meet no more to part
On that delightful shore,
Your trials then will all have passed
And you will part no more.
May we, your children, follow on,
And seek to know the Lord ,......
Meet you above in glory bright
And dwell with Christ in God. "*#****.
