by Unknown

All hail!—the age of crime and suffering ends;

The reign of righteousness from Heaven descends;

Vengeance for ever sheathes the afflicting sword!

Death is destroyed, and Paradise restored;

Man, rising from the ruins of his fall,

Is one with God, and God is All in all.

James Montgomery.

There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy places of the tabernacles of the Most High.—Psalm xlvi. 4.
