What man would flinch or find it hard to die
If Christ should meet him in the way to-morrow,
And tell him of the Shadow drawing nigh?
Dost think that he would look on Death with sorrow?
Nay, rather, would he not new comfort borrow
To know that Christ doth live, hath power to save,
That all we cherish blooms beyond the grave?
