7. And it will bring such blessings to others, to the race, to the world. It will stop the awful tragedy of sin and suffering; it will sheathe the sword, emancipate the captive, close the prison and the hospital, bind the devil and his henchman death, beautify and glorify the face of the earth, evangelize and convert the perishing nations, and shed light and gladness of this dark scene of woe and wickedness.
There shall be no more crying.
There shall be no more pain.
There shall be no more dying.
There shall be no more stain.
Hearts that by death were riven,
Meet in eternal love:
Lives on the altar given
Rise to their crowns above.
-- A.B. Simpson, The Four-fold Gospel
