THE NIGHTMARE’S O’ER

Awake at last, the nightmare’s o’er;
My true self I’ve become–
No longer in the Devil’s pow’r,
     Earth’s now my heaven’s home.

For earth I see is taken in—
     Is heaven’s ante-room;
At last we’re free from pow’r of sin;
     Light pierces earthly gloom.

His dawn has broken through at last,
     And life in me prevails.
I now with joy can sing and laugh,
     And Rachel does not wail.

At last I can now love myself,
     For I know God loves me;
He has restored my Eden health;
     From Devil I’m set free.
