A chapter in the book Experiences of Death

A Mother of Israel

by Bicpen


So let all thine enemies perish
O Lord, but let them that love him be like
The sun when he goeth forth in his might.
Another soul now gone to meet her holy
King, a mother of Israel freed from
The great weight of sin.  Much loved here on earth
For all the victories she had won,
Death awaited in the silence of
Life.  Death awaited to bring her down; death
Could never steal her righteous golden crown.

Awake, awake, a mother of Israel;
Awake, awake, utter a song.  Now before
The throne your prayers of faith are fully known.
 
For all the toil here on earth, Christ the
King has proved your worth.  Enter in blessed
Mother; gone to meet the host of heaven.
Awake, awake, a mother of Israel;
Awake, awake, utter a song.  Now at
Rest in that celestial home, make yourself
Heard in the song of the redeemed.
We thank the Lord for all your love; now
Your name known, engraved on the Lord's white stone.
Till we meet again, Christ forever reigns.
 

“ ... O my soul that has trodden down strength ... ”

 





After burying my grandmother an seeing the tears of one particular mourner haunting words searched my mind. They were, "see how they loved her."
