       Dedication

      FOR

       MY FATHER

       There is a land of pure delight

       Where saints immortal reign;

       Infinite day excludes the night,

       And pleasures banish pain.

       There everlasting spring abides,

       And never-withering flowers;

       Death like a narrow sea divides

       This heavenly land from ours …

       But timorous mortals start and shrink

       To cross this narrow sea,

       And linger shivering on the brink,

       And fear to launch away …

       Could we but climb where Moses stood

       And view the landscape o’er,

       Not Jordan’s stream, nor death’s cold flood,

       Should fright us from the shore.

      ISAAC WATTS
