The Clearer Vision

Topics: classic

When, with bowed head,     And silent-streaming tears,     With mingled hopes and fears,     To earth we yield our dead;     The Saints, with clearer sight,     Do cry in glad accord,--     "A soul released from prison     Is risen, is risen,--     Is risen to the glory of the Lord."
