'Tis sweet, as year by year we lose
Friends out of sight, in faith to muse
How grows in Paradise our store.

Additional quotes by John Keble

Sun of my soul! thou Saviour dear,
It is not night if Thou be near:
Oh, may no earth-born cloud arise
To hide Thee from Thy servant's eyes!

The deeds we do, the words we say,—
Into still air they seem to fleet,
We count them ever past;
But they shall last,
In the dread judgment they
And we shall meet!

When the shore is won at last,
Who will count the billows past?

'Tis sweet, as year by year we lose Friends out of sight, in faith to muse How grows in Paradise our store. - John Keble
