JOYFUL RESIGNATION TO A HAPPY DEPARTURE FROM THIS WEARY WORLD.
Be glad, my heart! now fear no more,
Let nothing ever grieve thee;
Christ lives, who lov'd thee long before
Thy being He did give thee,
And ere He made thy wondrous frame;
His love remaineth still the same,
It ne'er can change to hatred.
Be of good cheer! thy nearing end,
My heart! need not appal thee,
