[DEATH THE GATE OF LIFE.]
Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Psa. xxiii. 4.
Christ to my heart true joy can give,
Christ who was born that I might live;
He saves me from the pains of hell,
He deigns e’en here with me to dwell,
And, when from earth I wing my flight,
Will take me to Himself in light.
Jesus! thy name alone hath power
To cheer me in affliction’s hour;
