A DREAM Of GOOD FRIDAY

Il dreamed stood beside the hill
On trucI:yion Day:
Tnc scene has made all nations thrill
II no or can pass away
The world grew cold, tllt heavens dark,
The Temples veil was rent,
And p' ople led in terror stark
Each one on safety bent
The paindrawn from upon the cross,
Whose hands and feet were riven
begged for those who caused Hi loss
That they might be forgiven.
My dream was changed. Twas Eister's dawn.
Tie tomb gave up its dead
And angels bright, with weapons drawn,
Had smote the guards with dread
Again stood on Ovct
And saw the Savior rise
Star whose korcs never set
Yet brilliant in the skies.
Disturb me not fain would dream
Till all comes true 20 me,
And let my harp dwell on this theme
Through all eternity
