242
A DOOR OPENED IN HEAVEN.
Thou sky-born soul, for whom the Christ of God
Bowed to be crucified?"
So when I saw,
Or dreamed I saw, that even in Heaven might dwell
Reproof and penitence, I prayed to look
Ever upon that flood of light which gilds
Each morning with its mercy; and whose beams
Are brightened every moment, and to bear
God's discipline with gladness, that no tear
For trials lost, be shed beyond the grave.
