ORROW not even as others which have no hope for if we believe that JESUS died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in JESUS will GOD bring with Him. 1 Thess. iv. 13.

They are not dead, but sleeping;

Vex not them

With tears and lamentations in your sorrow: Short are the hours, before the golden morrow, Shall shed its welcome beam,

The new life's pathway in fresh glory steeping.

EITHER pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on Me through their word; that they all may be one; as Thou, FATHER, art in Me, and I in Thee, that they also may be one in Us: that the world may believe that Thou hast sent Me. S. John xvii. 20.

We, by enemies distressed,
They, in paradise at rest:

We the captives, they the freed,—
We and they are one indeed.

One, in all we seek or shun,
One, because our Lord is One:
One in heart and one in love,
We below and they above.

E being many are one bread and one body; for we are all partakers of that one Bread. 1 Cor. x. 17.

Ye Saints of God, sweet Jesus' Body glorious, From Abel to the babe baptized but now, Ye that in Paradise take rest victorious,

Ye that on earth beneath the cross still bow; Ye lightning-visaged hosts angelical— At our most Holy Feast I meet you all;

Heaven and earth are one in Thee, Lord Christ: Therefore I live for Thy dread Eucharist.
