Oh, the sighs and sobs, heard only by God, that shall be changed into songs of deliverance! Oh, the tears of the heart, seen only by God, that shall be as jewels in the crowns of the ransomed! Oh, the little cups of cold water handed out in Christ's name, that shall be living fountains of joy in the better country! Oh, the flowers, scarce daring to look up into the face of one of God's fair days on earth that shall bank the river of the water of life with their beauty, and make an addition even to the fragrance and bloom of heaven! Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord—for their works do follow them.
