# Lines on the Death of Brother John Kendall, of Liverpool, England, Who Was Killed by Falling

<!-- page:160 -->

FROM SCAFFOLD.

By Thomas Ward.

In his grave they have laid him, he slumbers in peace, O! then let us be glad in the light that has come,

While his spirit in Paradise sweetly shall rest, E'en the gospel's bright fulness [fullness], its priesthood of power;

Till the hour when the angel shall sound his release, While we look for a city-a glorious home,

In the first resurrection with Christ to be blest. And to meet all the sanctified dead in that hour.

O! then weep not, dear sister, more blessed is he, Then, O, Father above, let thy blessing descend,

Thy partner in life, though he lie with the dead; Let thy spirit its sweet consolation impart

And the band of affection that bound him to thee, To the widow, the mother, the sister and friend,

Is not severed because that his spirit hath fled, Let the joys of salvation enliven her heart.

Yet a short time shall pass, when, lo! gathered in one, Let her vision be clear of that glorious day,

All the saints of the Lord both in heav'n and earth, When thy Son shall descend with his angels of might,

With thee and thy young ones, and partner that's gone. When sorrow and pain, and all tears pass away,

May rejoice in the hour of a glorious birth. And truth stands revealed in heaven's own light.
