POEMS.
55
Thou may'st think of me then; just kneel to thy God,
Ask Him to' lift from thee the chastening rod,
Fill thy heart with purity, kindness, and, love,
That our spirits may mingle in Heaven above.
Ask Him to' lift from thee the chastening rod,
Fill thy heart with purity, kindness, and, love,
That our spirits may mingle in Heaven above.
PASSING AWAY.
Passing away! Yes, gone forever more
To that never-ending beautiful shore;
With angels to welcome us with kind love,
And dwell in our heavenly home far above.
Passing away! But new beauties we find
To beckon to heaven, and make us resign'd.
Suffering and sorrow on earth are now past,
Eternity awaits us, with sweet rest at last.
To beckon to heaven, and make us resign'd.
Suffering and sorrow on earth are now past,
Eternity awaits us, with sweet rest at last.
Passing away into bright beaming day,
With light everlasting to brighten the way,
Triumphant faith and pureness of heart
Redeem at last when from earth we depart.
With light everlasting to brighten the way,
Triumphant faith and pureness of heart
Redeem at last when from earth we depart.
