What means that heavenly radiance
Illuminating tiny sweet face?
Didst inject the angels as thy spirit took its
And did they whisper OF land
Where there Is no more night?
Hast seen the Lord
And did He take thee to "place prepared?"
Hast reached mansion
Long foretold IN his Holy Word?
And from his lips hast heard
That wondrous "blessed to the pure in
heart,"
And found that perfect rest
Ordained tor those who love the Lord?
What means that calm content,
So softly shed DER lips and brow
In all the heavenly host hast met the friends |
long gone before,
And with the N held converse sweet as in days |
of yore?
Has joined the innumerable throng, |
OF Saints who praise the Lamb that was |

While angels wonder at 'he joyous song,
Of "Allel1ia" repeated again and again?
Art dwelling now in a lard OF spring ete1 nal,
Where lowers sp' cad uOon thy bier
But faint types OF Il overs vernal.
There ever blooming from year to year?
Hast walked the heavenly street,
