A Christian here her glorious journey ends

A Christian here her glorious journey ends,
Caught from her earthly to her heavenly friends;
Mature for GOD below, her work fulfill’d,
Her prayers accepted, and her pardon seal’d,
The spotless Soul, a Native of the sky,
Has paid her visit, and return’d on high.

Mourner, to heaven thy earnest wishes breathe,
And live her life that thou mayst die her death;
Silent and sad, pass thro’ the weeping vale,
With arms divine the glorious throne assail;
Assur’d the crown of life shall then be given,
And GOD shall wipe away thy tears in heaven.
