Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Ani-Christ To Thomas Joseph McCartney Brother, of Soul and Flesh - that men call Dead, How sweet to me the inspired words that said: "Sleeping in Jesus." Ah, sweet Rest indeed - Of all life´s fretting troubles Thou art freed, And art awaiting that sweet Coming Day When Thou, A Risen Saint, shall come in grand array That singing round about The King shall stand, To make this Earth indeed a Holy Land. O Brother, of my youth - now with the Blessed Dead - I never saw the spot where rests Thy silent head, But I know well Christ hath it in His care - The Bodies of His Saints are precious everywhere. Men called Thee failure - but, purblind they are, ´Twere like as one saw setting of a star And cried out, "Lo, the Light is vanished ever more!" Not heeding The Withdrawer can restore. Christ heard Thy singing - and, perchance, amiss, Therefore withdrew Thee from a World like this To be His Singer in The Age to Come; Therefore, in this Age all Thy hopes lie dumb, (Dead nightingale who sang forgotten note.) And like dead ashes all the songs You wrote. Christ wanted singers, and He wanted You Therefore Thy lips in singing should be true To Him, and to His cause - Thine earthly rhyme, Would only last the passing of this Time - And so He called Thee e´er past manhood´s prime - To keep Thy lips for lofty themes sublime - To keep Thy singing a most Holy Thing Forever linked with praise of Christ Our King.
