Death & Dying
On the Death of a Child, Part 5
From Funeral Hymns, Second Series (1753) · Osborn ed., vol. 6 (1870)
Death & Dying
Angels rejoice! a child is born,
Into your happier world above!
Let poor short-sighted mortals mourn,
While on the wings of heavenly love
An everlasting spirit flies,
To claim his kindred in the skies.
