grief
are
for
ever dried up, neither
shall
there
be
any
more pain
in
the
flesh
or the spirit.
God
shall wipe
away
all
tears from
your
eyes,
and
death
shall be
no
more;
Rev.
xxi. 4.
"
It
is
finished," said
our
blessed
Lord
on
the
cross
;
John
xi
x.
30.
It
is
finished,
may every one
of
his
followers
say
at
the
hour
of
death, and
at
the end
of time:
My sins
and
follies, my
distresses
and
my sufferings,
are
finished
for
ever,
and the
mighty angel swears
to
it,
that
the time
of
these
evils
is
no
longer: They
are vanished
and
shall
never return.
O
happy
souls, who have
been
so wise
to
count
the short and uncertain number
of
your
days on
earth,
as
to
make an early provisión for
a removal to
heaven.
Blessed
are
you
above
all
the powers
of
present
thought
and
language. Days,
and
months, and years,
and
all
these
short
and painful periods
of
time,
shall be
swallowed up in a long
and
blissful
eternity;
the
stream
of
time which has
run
between
the banks
of
this
mortal
life,
and bore
you along amidst many
dangerous rocks
of
temptation,
fear,
and
sorrow, shall
launch
you
out in-
to the
ocean
of
pleasures,
which
have
no
period Those
felicities
must
be everlasting, for
duration
has no
limit
there,
Time,
with all its
measures, shall
be
no more.
Amen.
