Classic Poem

Fairest of Souls above
Are those who suffered here;
They gave the sacrifice of Love,
To prove their hearts sincere.

Among the pearls of earth
Most cherished, Constancy;
Maid of a high, celestial birth,
Child of eternity!

Ten thousand anxious thoughts
Do oft our prayers oppress;
But He who reigns in heavenly courts
Will surely hear and bless.

And altogether blest
Are those who know the Lord ;
The grave will kindly yield its guest
To His resistless word.

Lovely upon the shore
Of Jordan's streams she stands,
Who gave her life for C HRIST , and bore
His witness in her hands.
