Alone with one now free from pains Amid death's-Icy chill; ' Wrapped in the pure white linen She lies so stiff and cold'; A noble soul in the beginning ' Called home before she Is old. ' ; A peaceful calm rest on the" face So beautiful and fair; Until keen suffering left Its trace Anddrewdeep lines of care; Those lips which smiled on one and all And spoke kind words of love; Are silenced for a while on earth She speaks In Heaven above. And willing hands and feet, ah! too! They're quiet now and cold; God had other work for her to do She's gathered to his fold; And though In sorrow we may weep For the loss ot one most dear; Wu know that very soon we'll meet Sad partings ne'er to .fear; t For Christ our Saviour, Lord and King Laid down nis life that we So faithful might his praises sing And live through all eternity. |
