Oh SO sweetly in beautiful garments OF white.
He has gone from my arms aud he tarrys
Alone with the angels to night.
"Not sleepng" saith yonder bright spirits,
But waking to glory and bliss;
For the peace of the heavenly kingdom
Hath given sadness of this.
''Not alone with the angels but roaming
The plains of the sweet Eden shore.
With the millions of glorfed cherubs
That sorrow on earth never more"
The inourners have left the sad chamber,
And followed the cssket of clay;
But the jewel so bright and so precious
Is set In the brow of the day.
The Father himself, in His wisdom,
Hath taken our son from our home;
From this desert SO barren and lonely
To the beautiful land of the blest.
