Big Pasture Cemetery, Jane M. Stratton

As nearly as I could make out, the inscription reads:

 

Jane M.

Wife of

G. W. Stratton

died Oct. 30, 1856,

Aged 21 years, 2 months,

& 30 days

Beyond death's gate above this height

Sweet Jane dwells an Angel bright

Freed from all grief and pain she strikes a harp of gold

And tunes the gentle voice we loved

To offer praise of Him whose suffering brought

?able joy, eternity to her unfold

 

In that last line there were 4 or 5 letters before "able" . I could not make them out and can't think of what word might fit there. Anybody have any ideas? Immutable? Ineffable?
