The Open Grave

By John Francis Olmsted

WE are reminded, Lord, to-day Of gloom and sorrow sore; So cheer our hearts, and ever stay With us till trouble's o'er.
When we must lay our loved ones low And take our last farewell, The bitter tears would ever flow Unchecked, and sorrow tell.
But hope there is beyond the tomb Which holds our cherished dead; For Christ will come and scatter gloom, And crown each faithful head.
Then lift your eyes to heaven high In times of sorrow sore, And ever trust the Saviour nigh To guide till trouble's o'er. Columbus, Ohio.
