John Oxenham

The Clearer Vision

   When, with bowed head,
   And silent-streaming tears,
   With mingled hopes and fears,
   To earth we yield our dead;
   The Saints, with clearer sight,
   Do cry in glad accord,—
   "A soul released from prison
   Is risen, is risen,—
   Is risen to the glory of the Lord."
