The Making of The Beautiful

"We shall change:
Into something new and strange.
Death shall set his captives free;
Mortal shall immortal be;
We shall put the earthly by
Sin and sin's defiling stain,
Weakness, weariness, and pain
Evermore like Him to be
Whom at last our eyes shall see;
Into something fair and strange
We shall change.
We shall go--
Not with funeral 'cortege slow,
Not with toll of passing bell'
Human grief and gloom to tell,
But with shout of Christ on high,
Trump of God and angel's cry;
We who dwell as exiles here,
Longing for a land more dear,
Joyful, to our home above,
Joyful, to the Lord we love,
From all evils here below
We shall go.”

doctrine with her. She was looking for a Person who had given a
promise. When she saw earth's woes, she longed for the coming again
of the World's Redeemer.
