In Memoriam. - Rev. Henry Albertson Post,

Topics: classic

Died at Warrensburgh, New York, November 12th, 1861, aged 26.     [1]Read me rejoicing Psalms,         Oh dearest one, and best!     I go from war to peace,         From pain to glorious rest,     Where the bright life-tree sheds         Around its precious balms,     So, while I linger here         Read me rejoicing psalms.     And when my place I take         Amid the ransom'd throng     Who through a Saviour's love         Uplift the immortal song,     Repress the tear of grief         That washes faith away,     And brave in zeal and love         Await our meeting-day.     Yes, let thy course below         Through all its fleeting days     In its angelic ministries         Be as a psalm of praise.
