Religion
It is well with the child?
From Verses (1893)
Religion
Lying a-dying.
Have done with vain sighing:
Life not lost tut treasured,
God Almighty pleasured,
God’s daughter fetched and carried,
Christ’s bride betrothed and married.
Our tender little dove
Meek-eyed and simple,
Our love goes home to Love:
There shall she walk in white,
Where God shall be the Light,
And God the Temple.
