They call it death until the angel comes to open the door; the door that opens and shuts us in from worlds tall and strife. When the boon of rest comes to weary souls and when the burden of care is lost; when the harbor of heaven welcomes those oer the world sea tempest tossed; thank God for the door by whatever name that waits at the end of the road for it widely swings to let us in to the paradise of God.
