But I shall be above them all

by Horatius Bonar

In ‘Hymns of Faith and Hope’, 1857 (9.8.9.8)

18. ‘I see the shadows of its sunset;
And wrapped in these the Avenger’s form;
I see the Armageddon onset;
But I shall be above the storm.

19. There comes the moaning and the sighing,
There comes the hot tear’s heavy fall,
The thousand agonies of dying—
But I shall be beyond them all.’      (v18 & 19 of 'A stranger here')

Thank you Mr Bonar.

Found his grave stone on morning outing in Edinburgh!
