O 'tis not in grief to harm me, While Thy love is left to me; O 'twere not in joy to charm me, Were that joy ummixed with Thee. 4 Haste thee on from grace to glory, Armed by faith and winged by prayer; Heaven's eternal day's before thee, God's own hand shall guide thee there. Soon shall close thy earthly mission, Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days, Hope shall change to glad fruition, Faith to sight, and prayer to praise. Amen. Used With Tune: ELLESDIE
