The Father's House is mansioned fair Beyond my vision dim; All souls are His, and here or there Are living unto Him. And still their silent ministry Within my heart hath place, As when on earth they walked with me And met me face to face. Their lives are made forever mine; What they to me have been Hath left henceforth its seal and sign Engraven deep within. Mine are they by an ownership Nor Time nor death can free; For God hath given to love to keep Its own eternity. Frederick L.
