REV. HENRY ALBERTSON POST,

Read me rejoicing Psalms,

Oh dearest one, and best!

I go from war to peace,

From pain to glorious rest,

Where the bright life-tree sheds

Around its precious balms,

So, while I linger here

Read me rejoicing psalms.

And when my place I take

Amid the ransom'd throng

Who through a Saviour's love

Uplift the immortal song,

Repress the tear of grief

That washes faith away,

And brave in zeal and love

Await our meeting-day.

Yes, let thy course below

Through all its fleeting days

In its angelic ministries

Be as a psalm of praise.
