Little Ann: An Authentic Narrative

35] LITTLE ANN. 3d Saviour be your Saviour—may her God be your God, and the God and Saviour of all your Sabbath school children, and of every child that names the name of Jesus, and desires to love and serve him. Your’s truly, Unveil thy bosom, faithful tomb, Take this new treasure to thy trust; And give these sacred relics room, * To seek a slumber in the dust. Nor pain, nor grief, nor anxious fear Invade thy bounds. No mortal woes Can reach the peaceful sleeper here. While angels watch the soft repose. So Jesus slept; God’s dying Son Pass’d through the grave, and blest the bed; Rest here, blest saint, till from his throne The morning break, and pierce the shade. Break from his throne, illustrious morn; Attend, 0 earth! his sov’reign word; Restore thy trust—a glorious form— . Call’d to ascend and meet the Lord.
