LIGHT ON THE GRAVE. BY THE AUTHOR OF "EMBLEMS OF JESUS," "CHRISTIAN COMFORT," &c., &c., &c. P. G "What though o'er the silent tomb Clouds and mists be blending; BOWRING. EDINBURGH: 101. g 39. TO THE FAITHFUL DEPARTED. THOU art gone to the grave; but we will not deplore thee, Thou art gone to the grave; we no longer behold thee, Thou art gone to the grave; and its mansion forsaking, But the mild rays of Paradise beam'd on thy waking, Thou art gone to the grave; but we will not deplore thee, Whose God was thy ransom, thy guardian and guide! He gave thee, He took thee, and He will restore thee; And death has no sting, for the Saviour has died! BISHOP REGINALD HEBER. |
