And feasts on visions of future joy,

With thee, my husband, and thee, my boy?

Ye have seen what here I cannot see,

The stores of mercy laid up for me;

Ye have known what here I cannot know,

Why our Father has laid me low;

The wonderful secrets of infinite love

Are only known in the world above.

Then, sainted husband! I’ll surely try

Rejoicing to live as well as die;
