the chamber called peace.
253
Hills and heavens around us, like walls seemed to bound us,
Of a Home all unblighted, a Mansion love-lighted,
A chamber called Peace.
Of a Home all unblighted, a Mansion love-lighted,
A chamber called Peace.
For, on earth or in heaven, to true hearts is given
One quiet abode;
One mighty Arm guards them, one blessing rewards them,—
The Presence of God!
The stars in declining fail not of their shining,
Through daylight's increase:
They who pass on before us leave dawn breaking o'er us,
Lighting up, through death's grating, our chamber of waiting,
Our chamber called Peace.
One quiet abode;
One mighty Arm guards them, one blessing rewards them,—
The Presence of God!
The stars in declining fail not of their shining,
Through daylight's increase:
They who pass on before us leave dawn breaking o'er us,
Lighting up, through death's grating, our chamber of waiting,
Our chamber called Peace.
