*t
So live that when thy summons comes to
join the innumerable caravan that moves to that
mysterious realm, where each shall take his
chamber in the silent halls of death, Thou go
not, like the quarry-slave at night scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and soothed by an
unfaltering trust, approach thy grave like
one who wraps the drapery of his couch about ;
him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.
Lord, help us so to live
;
That, when death waiting stands, j
. -: <
In. child-like faith and trust weljj give . j
Our souls into Mis hands.
