There is no Death! What seems so is transition;
This life of Mortal breath is but a suburb of the life elysian whose portal we call Death.
In Loving Remembrance of William Nelson
Died: August 26, 1887
Asleep in Jesus! Blessed sleep, from which none ever wakes to weep!
A calm and undisturbed repose, unbroken by the last of foes.
Asleep in Jesus! Far from thee, thy kindred and their graves may be;
But thine is still a blessed sleep, from which none ever wakes to weep.
