THE CHRISTIAN FEMALE.
Yea, he is altogether Lovely."
I ask'd her when in beauty dressed,
When youthful hope inspired her breast,
Where lives he whom thou lovest best?
She said—in Heaven.
I ask'd her when she fondly press'd
Her smiling infant to her breast,
Where lives He whom thou lovest best?
She said—in Heaven.
I ask'd her when her bloom was lost,
When all her earthly hopes were crossed,
Where lives He whom thou lovest most?
She said—in Heaven.
I ask'd her in her dying groan,
Who is the brightest loveliest One?
'Tis GOD she cried, my GOD alone—
And went to Heaven.
Yea, he is altogether Lovely."
I ask'd her when in beauty dressed,
When youthful hope inspired her breast,
Where lives he whom thou lovest best?
She said—in Heaven.
I ask'd her when she fondly press'd
Her smiling infant to her breast,
Where lives He whom thou lovest best?
She said—in Heaven.
I ask'd her when her bloom was lost,
When all her earthly hopes were crossed,
Where lives He whom thou lovest most?
She said—in Heaven.
I ask'd her in her dying groan,
Who is the brightest loveliest One?
'Tis GOD she cried, my GOD alone—
And went to Heaven.
