Christian Hymn – Death Of A Young Girl What though the stream be dead Hymn

Christian Worship Death Of A Young Girl.

What though the stream be dead,
Its banks all still and dry!
It murmurs o’er a lovelier bed,
In air-groves of the sky.

What though our bird of light
Lie mute with plumage dim;
In heaven I see her glancing bright,
I hear her angel hymn.

True that our beauteous doe
Hath left her still retreat,
But purer now in heavenly snow,
She lies at Jesus’ feet.

O star! untimely set!
Why should we weep for thee!
Thy bright and dewy coronet
Is rising o’er the sea.
