THE DYING INDIAN’S DREAM
Let every tongue
The shout prolong!
Sound the Redeemer’s praise, In loudest, loftiest lays!
To Him who bought him With His precious blood;
To Him who brought him
To this bright Abode
Of perfect blessedness,
And everlasting peace,
“ The Bosom of his Father and his God."

“ Oh, I shall surely reach that place, Through matchless grace!
One moment more below
I linger, then I go,
From this dark world of woe, Where floods of sorrow overflow, To those bright beauteous Plains, Where Glory everlasting reigns; That Land of heavenly Rest, Among the Pure and Blest, Where Jesus is—where I
Shall never sin again or sigh;— In that bright world on high, There are no stains
Of sin, and no remains
Of sorrow, sighs, and pains;
But pure and perfect happiness, And royal robes of heavenly dress, I shall eternally posses;
Where holiness and peace
Never to cease,
But ever to increase,
