Text Rev. Ch. 7. 13 to 17 verse
(This is really Rev. 14:13)
Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from
henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them.
Life's duty done, as sinks the clay,
Light from its load the spirit flies;
While heaven & earth combine to say,
How blessed the righteous when he dies.
(Last verse of the poem/hymn "How Blessed the Righteous When He Dies" by Anna L Barbauld, 1773)
