In tIenoriun.

In memory of our sister by F. NJ.
Oh, how hard to say farewell
To our loving sister Nell,
But while in sorrow here we weep
We remember, in Jesus, she has fallen
asleep.
In the mansion that Jesus has gone TO
prepare
Safe at home forever there
Free from sorrow and earthly care,
For suffering and death can not enter
there.
With that innum erabie host arrayed III
pure white,
Where no storms ever come, and there
is no night,
With the saints and the seraphs, so
dazzling and bright,
They need not a candle, for God is the
light.
OF the glories of heaven in Gods word
we are told,
OF beautiful city, whose streets are
pure gold.
The gates of that city are pearls pure
and bright,
anu lAiO 0otihlS dlC AHA J GU III Bdi llitHb5
Of white.
With crowns ON their heads and with
harps in their hands,
In the presence of Jesus, forever they
stand.
And the mansions Of heaven forever
shall ring,
With the song of redemption and praise
to our King.
OF the glories Of heaven furthermore we
are taught,
How Paul the apostle to the third
heayen was caught.
OF the visions he saw and language so
sweet
Twas unlawful for man on the earth TO
repeat.
OF the glories Of heaven what pen can
describel
Not the priest, or the prophet, OF most
learned scribe.
Mortal eye hath not seen, or ear ever
heard
OF the glory reserved for the people of
God
In the mansions above, with that num-
berless thong,
With the saints and the seraphs to sing
the new song.
A song that perhaps the angels cant
sing,
Who have not been redeemed through
Jesus, our King.
o. the home of the Father! How won
drously sweet,
Her children and parents and loved ones
to greet
In the mansions of heaven, how many
she'll find,
While waiting for those she has left be.
hind
For the sake of the sOrrowing, our own
blessed Lord.
Told John, his disciple, to write in his
word,
Blessed are they who die in the Lord.
To the husband and children, who
dwell here below,
If they're faithful TO Jesus, sometime
they Will go,
To greet the dear loved one who has
gone on before,
Who is waiting for them, on that beau
tiful shore.
