Author: Anon. Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A lovely infant sleeps in death;
How beautiful and fair!
Yes, even now, though void of breath,
God's impress still is there.
2 And if thus fair and lovely here,
Beneath death's icy hand,
O will it not be beauteous there,
'Mid the immortal band?
3 When Jesus bids it rise and live
With all the saints in light,
A glorious body then he'll give,
Resplendent to the sight!
4 Though nature weeps when lovely ties
So strongly bound are riven,
Yet faith the Saviour's words applies,
"Of such the realms of heaven!" Topics: Death and Resurrection Used With Tune: NAOMI
