'Tis fnish'd, the conflict is past,
The heaven born spirit is fed
Her wish is accomplished at last,
And now she's entombed with the dead.
No sickness, sorrow, or pain,
Shall ever disquiet her now;
Fer death to her spirit was gain,
Since Christ WIS her life here below.
Her soul has taken its fight,
To mansions of glory above;
To mingle with angels of light,
And dwell in the kingdom of love.
The coffin, the shroud, and the grave
To nee objects of dread;
On him who is mighty to save,
Her soul was with confidence stay'd
Then let us forbear a complain,
That she is gone from our sight;
We soon shall behold her again.
With new and eternal delight
We. too, must the summons obey,
We, too, shall the victory gain;
And rejoice to hasten away,
With her sainted spirit to reign.
