THIS is not death 'Tis but struggle ended
ransomed soul In bonds refused to keep
An unseen angel to Its aid descended;
And now God giveth His beloved sleep.
II tears win flow. not hopeless is our sorrow;
Our dear one rests among Chrlst's foldes
sheep
Just for night; but God will. on the morrow
Awaken His beloved from their sleep
Then. darling. resti Nay, neyermore shal
grieve thee
The Ills that make earth's children sigh an,
weep:
And till the day dawn, with thy Lord we leav,
For 80 He giyeth His beloved sleep"
