The White Coffin

 

VERSE 1

The hearse was driven to our door,

It brought a coffin, white as snow;

Such coffins we had seen before,

But never one, concerned us so.

They took the cover from the casque,

And placed a snow white form inside;

We looked once more—it was the last—

On him who once had been our pride.

 

VERSE 2

Our precious child! O is it true

That we shall see his face no more?

His life was like the morning dew—

’Tis gone; our hearts are bleeding sore!

A voice then whispered from above;

“I gave, I also took away.”

It was our Father’s voice of love!

Our consolation, hope and stay.

 

VERSE 3

Our babe has only “gone before,”

He’s safe at home on Jesus’ breast,

Released from sorrow evermore,

And soon with him we’ll sweetly rest;

We by the empty cradle knelt,

Poured out our chastened souls in prayer.

A stronger tie to Heav’n we felt,

Because we knew our babe was there.
