XV.

Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.’—
Ps. cxvi. 15.

Precious, precious to Jehovah is His children's holy sleep;
He is with them in the passing through the waters cold and deep;
Everlasting love enfolds them softly, safely to His breast,
Everlasting love receives them to His glory and His rest.
