THE HOUR OF DEATH.

There is a solemn hour
That to us all must come,
But Christians do not dread its power,
For they are going home.
Their rest will be complete,
And sin and pain shall cease.
With Christ and loved ones they shall meet
To dwell in perfect peace.

106

A glorious train shall come;
The joyous, ransomed throng;
And sing their rapturous welcome home,—
And we shall join that song;
Which all the saved shall know—
Saved from the fiery flood
Of sin, which here shall ever flow—
Redeemed by Jesus' blood.
