Sweet Babes! on earth no more-
Their souls enlarg'd to Angel's size,
Joins in the triumphs of the skies,
Adores the Grace that brought them there,
Without a wish, without a care;
That wash'd their souls in Calvary's stream,
That shorten'd life's distressing dream,
Short griefs, short pains, Sweet Babes! were thine,
New Joys, Eternal and Divine.
