And infant voices lisp a sweet—Amen!

No tears can fall where all the blest employ

Is rapturous praise; and ever growing joy

Sits radiant on each angelic face,

While glory brightens all the blissful place!

Yes! there’s a land where tears shall fall no more,

Nor dim the eyes that often wept before;

I know the land—my sainted ones are there;

Come, Death! to that bright world my spirit bear!

There shall be no more pain! no languishing!
