In fear of God, and true good will to man,

How blessed thus to enter perfect rest,

Where is no shadow of infirmity,

Nor fear of change, but happy souls unite

In high ascriptions to redeeming Love.


And thou,[5] ] sole daughter of their house and heart,

Leading thy mournful little ones to look

Into the open and insatiate tomb,

With what a rushing tide thy sorrows came.
