First Line: A LIFE IS BEFORE THEE WHICH CANNOT DECAY
Last Line: SAFE AND BLEST FOR AYE.
Subject(s): FUTURE LIFE; RETRIBUTION; ETERNITY; AFTER LIFE;

A LIFE is before thee which cannot decay,
A glimpse and an echo are given to-day
Of glory and music not far away.
Take the bliss that is offered thee,
And thou shalt be
Safe and blest for aye.
