Pale and wan she grew and weakly
Bearing all her pain so meekly,
That to them she still grew dearer,
As the trial hour drew nearer.
When the holy angles meet us,
As we go to join their band,
Shall we know The friends that greet
us
In that glorius spirit land?
Shall we feel the read arms twinng
Fondly round us as before?
o, we weary, sad and tossed ones,
Droop not, faint not by the way;
Ye shall join the loved and just ones
In that land of perfect day.
