This corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.—I. Corinthians, xv. 53.

Our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.—II. Timothy, i. 10.

Immortal honour, endless fame

Attend the Almighty Father’s name.

And yet who knows it not? It is but life

In stronger thread of brighter colour spun,

And spun for ever, dipt by cruel fate

In Stygian die, how black, how brittle here!
