[I heard a great voice from heav'n, saying unto me]

[_]

The following poem is scored for music in the source text.

I heard a great voice from heav'n, saying unto me,
Write, From henceforth,
Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord.
Yea, saith the Spirit, for they rest,
From their labours and their works,
Which do follow them.
