Your recent sickness had a voice!
(Letters of William Romaine, 1714-1795)
Dear Sir,
Your recent sickness had a voice!
It spoke, and you heard it say,
"In the midst of life, we are in death!"
How short is life--
and how uncertain!
How certain, infallibly
certain, is death!
How necessary is preparation
for death, and how dangerous
is the least delay.
How comforting is a well-
grounded hope of safety in
death, and of joy beyond it!
This is the antidote against
the sting of death--
yes, and against
the fear of death.
It is an infallible cure!
Every Christian can look
forward to death and
judgment, with a hope
full of glory and immortality!
"For this GOD is our GOD
for ever and ever: HE will
be our guide even unto death."
(Psalm 48:14)
