Sweet Is the scene when Christians de-
When holy souls return to rest;
How mildly beams the closing eye,
How gently heaves the expiring breast
So fades the summer cloud away,
So dies the along the shore,
So gently opes the eye 0f day,
81 luls the gale when storms are yer
! Triumphant smiles the victor's brow,
/ Famed by some guardian angels wing
/; o grave. where is thy victory, now,
. . death where is thy sting"
