LXXVIII. A MOTHER'S ACT OF RESIGNATION ON THE DEATH OF A CHILD.
Peace, my heart, be calm, be still,
Subject to my Father's will!
God in Jesus reconciled
Calls for His beloved child,
Who on me Himself bestow'd
Claims the purchase of His blood.
Subject to my Father's will!
God in Jesus reconciled
Calls for His beloved child,
Who on me Himself bestow'd
Claims the purchase of His blood.
Child of prayer, by grace Divine
Him I willingly resign,
Through his last convulsive throes
Born into the true repose,
Born into the world above,
Glorious world of light and love!
Him I willingly resign,
Through his last convulsive throes
Born into the true repose,
Born into the world above,
Glorious world of light and love!
Through the purple fountain brought,
To his Saviour's bosom caught,
Him in the pure mantle clad,
In the milk-white robe array'd,
Follower of the Lamb I see;
See the joy prepared for me.
To his Saviour's bosom caught,
Him in the pure mantle clad,
In the milk-white robe array'd,
Follower of the Lamb I see;
See the joy prepared for me.
Lord, for this alone I stay;
Fit me for eternal day;
Then Thou wilt receive Thy bride
To the souls beatified,
Then with all Thy saints I meet,
Then my rapture is complete.
Fit me for eternal day;
93
To the souls beatified,
Then with all Thy saints I meet,
Then my rapture is complete.
