Sweet is the scene when Christians die,
When holy souls retire to rest;
How mildly beams the closing eye!
How gently heaves the expiring breast!
So fades a summer cloud away;
So sinks the gale when storms are o’er;
So gently shuts the eye of day;
So dies a wave along the shore.
Triumphant smiles the victor’s brow,
Fanned by some guardian angel's wing;
O Grave! Where is thy victory now?
And where, 0 Death l where is thy sting?
