Thy joy supreme what words can paint? In earth's last hour of fleeting breath Be Thou our Conqueror over death. Amen. Used With Tune: ST. PETERSBURG

Ye may now be happy too, Find on earth the life of heaven: Live the life of heaven above, All the life of glorious love. 4 This the universal bliss, Bliss for every soul designed; God's original promise this, God's great gift to all mankind Blest in Christ this moment be!
