Tragedy and Triumph,
(13y Geo. AV. -Armstrong.)
Saddest pane in human story,
Was the day 1011011 Jesus died;
\Vlen--nailed Co Itis ernes so gory -
At Golgotha crucified.
He was wound in linen Bravo clothes,
(He who came the world to 0nvej.;
I Was embalmed with myrrh and aloes,
Laid in saintly Joseph's grave,
Through a tragedy of sorrow,
Anil a death of grief and pain;
1Ie shall triumph on the morrow,
And God's just decrees maintain,
Death and tomb enthroned before,
Cannot cast dark shadows 0010;
For their usurped reign is o'er,
(dory crowns the V'ictor's brow.
So through sorrow, grief tau4, sadness,
Duty, danger, death may' lie;
Dull Golgotha beans with gladness,
Calvary teaches Death shall die,
Thus 00011 Friday's gloomy dawn,
'Co 0 triumph leads the way;
and a glorious toaster morn,
Hails Christ's resurrection day.
