"Welcome death! thou art the dawning
Of another, brighter day;
Soon thou'lt usher in a morning,

That shall never fade away;
Come my Saviour, come and bear me,
From this tenement of clay,
Let my ransom'd soul live near thee,
In the realms of endless day.
Oh how sweet and how refreshing,
Jesus! is thy love to me;
Not a doubt or fear distressing,
Separates my soul from thee;
For this bosom hides a token,

Death can never rend from me,
'Tis thy love, that bond unbroken,
That unites my soul to thee."

My sister dear, in death's cold arms,
Thou here art silent laid,
Vanish'd for ever are thy charms,

And all thy beauty's fled,

May peace, her pinions o'er thee spread,
Till the last trump shall sound,
When the great Judge shall raise the dead,
And thou with God be found.
