John Robert Maisenbacher
Died June 29, 1887 Aged 15 months 16 days.
There is no Death! what seem so is transition;
This life of Mortal breath
Is but a suburb of the life elysian,
Whose portal we call Death.
Jesus, while our hearts are bleeding
O'er the spoils that death has won,
We would, at this solemn meeting,
Calmly say, -- Thy will be done.
Though cast down, we're not forsaken;
Though afflicted, not alone;
Thou didst give, and Thou hast taken,
Blessed Lord, Thy will be done.
