When my final farewell to the world I have said,
And gladly lain down to my rest,
When softly the watchers shall say, “He is dead,”
And fold my pale hands on my breast,
And when with my glorified vision at last
The walls of that City I see,
Will any one there at the Beautiful Gate
Be waiting and watching for me?
