Thou hast gone, little Henry, from those that have
loved thee
On earth, to the Saviour of sinners above,
To greet thy fond father, and join in the praises
OF God, who has called thee in infinite love-
Why should we lament thee thou dear little angel
We know thou hast gone to happier shore
Thy home is In Heaven, where nought can distress
thee,
Where sickness and pain can afflict thee no more.
Thou art gono but thy spirit shall hover around u.s.
And point us to him who has called thee away;
Who alone can prepare to meet thee IN glory,
And unite in his praises through unending day.

Thus it pleased God, in his infinite goodness to
snatch from dear tie, tender plant which had
not experienced the wintry blast of life. Though we
were caused to mourn yet do not mourn those
who have hope. for just beyond the chilling tide is
the happier spirit of little Willie enjoying the
pany of the blessed-of an uncle who also pluck
ed in the sprtng of life. The Lord giveth and the
Lord taketh away. Blessed be the of the Lord'
| Yes, dear Willie, thou has left us,
Here thy loss we deeply feel;
But tits God that has bereft u.s.
He all sorrows heal.
Thou hast early reached the haven
Of sweet repose beyond the tide;
Thou hast calmly entered Heaven
Sweetly lived and sweetly died. W. III d.
