Death & Dying
On the Death of Mrs. Elizabeth Witham
From Hymns and Sacred Poems (1749) · Osborn ed., vol. 5 (1869)
Death & Dying
And is the happy spirit fled?
And is she number'd with the dead,
Who live to God above?
Make haste, my soul, her steps pursue,
And fight like her thy passage through,
To yon bright throne of love.
