Verses.
31
"For Jesus wipes away each tear
Upon that blissful shore,
Where all who friends in Jesus are,
Once met, shall part no more."
"Affliction is not sent in vain
From that great God who chastens whom He loves,—
Oh, there is healing in the bitter cup!"
Southey's "Madoc."
"To pious souls death only is a strait,
A short, dark passage to a future state
Of endless life. Their ashes in the grave
No prison, but a sanctuary have;
Till pure and more refin'd the just shall rise,
With bodies light
As air, than plume more bright,—
Bodies fit for such souls, souls for such joys."
"Live to die, for die you must,
And die to live among the just."
St. Andrew's, Holborn.
"Lo! the prisoner is releas'd,
Lighten'd of his fleshly load;
Where the weary are at rest,
He is gather'd unto God!
