Original Poetry.
SHE IS NOW NO MORE,
She’s one whom all did love, Amiable and sincere, More meet for heaven above, To dwell in Jesus’ love, Than to inhabit here.
Although her friends did weep, And pray she might be spared Tb fill her wonted seat; Friends at the door to meet, Such joys she often shared.
Bat, ho ! she’s gone from earth, The Jordan she has cross’d ; Where saints all glorious stand — Safe in Immanuel’s land — . A blood-besprinkled host.
She cannot come to us—- ■ Nor would we wish her back ; We know that she is well— Better than tongue can tell— No joys she there shall lack. But wo to her may go ; May her removal then Be blessing in disguise, And let us not despise The warning God has given To cause our souls to rise, To join hers soon in heav’n. J. H. P
