HER BIRTHDAY IN HEAVEN.
165
More glorious far than the diamond gem,
Is the radiant crown which One giveth to them,
Whose meekness, faith, patience, and heavenly love,
Have made the soul meet for its bright home above.
Is the radiant crown which One giveth to them,
Whose meekness, faith, patience, and heavenly love,
Have made the soul meet for its bright home above.
Her birthday in Heaven!—and it may not be long
Ere your voice will join hers in the sweet angel's song;
Then faint not, though now to your trembling lips given,
Is this tender refrain of—Her birthday in heaven.
Ere your voice will join hers in the sweet angel's song;
Then faint not, though now to your trembling lips given,
Is this tender refrain of—Her birthday in heaven.
