No sigh of grief, no touch of sin,

No frail mortality's control;

Nor once hath disappointment stung,

Nor care, world-weary, made thee pine;

But rapture, such as human tongue

Hath found no language for, is thine.

Made perfect at thy passing, who

Can sum thy added glory now?

As on, and onward, upward, through

The angel ranks that lowly bow,
