A life has just begun!
A life has just begun!
Another soul has won
The glorious spark of being!
Oh young immortal, hail!
He before whom are dim
Seraph and cherubim;
Who gave the archangels strength and majesty,
Who sits upon Heaven's throne,
The Everlasting One,
Oh blessed child, made thee!
Fair creature of the earth,
Heir of immortal life, though mortal in thy birth,
Hail, all hail.


DIRGE OF DEATH.

ANGEL OF DEPARTURE.

Shrink not, oh Human Spirit,
The Everlasting Arm is strong to save.
Look up--look up, frail nature, put thy trust
In Him who went down mourning to the dust,
And overcame the grave.

CHORUS OF MINISTERING SPIRITS.

'Tis nearly done,
