DEPARTED.
The following lines on the death of Miss Bullen were composed by one of her most intimate friends, a young lady well known in Gisborne :— The Lord has called another dear one home, To rest with Him and sit at his right hand; A flow’ret fair to grace His Heavenly throne, And bloom for aye in that most glorious land. From care and sin and every pain set free, Bereaved ones, now your darling waits for thee. She is not dead but softly sleeps with God, And calmly waits until you join her there. In Christ her weary feet had ever trod And now she rests with him, among the fair. “ How sweet the name of Jesus sounds in a believer’s ear.” Sad mourners put your trust in him; He’ll dry your every tear. Then live in hope and do his will (his ways are always kind) That when the Lord shall summon, you may a welcome find ; And join the one who waits you there, to be His happy guests; “ Where the wicked cease from troubling, and the weary are at rest.” F.
