All through the day Be Thou my Guard and Guide; And let me live, Bless'd Jesus! near Thy side. Oh, make Thy rest Prepared to see Thy face. THE HEAVENS DECLARE THE GLORY OF GOD. The spacious firmament on high, And spangled heavens, a shining frame, Their great Original proclaim. The unwearied sun, from day to day, Does his Creator's power display, And publishes to every land The work of an Almighty hand. Soon as the evening shades prevail, Whilst all the stars that round her burn, And spread the truth from pole to pole. What though, in solemn silence, all CHILDREN, LOVE ONE ANOTHER.-L. M. The God of heaven is pleased to see And will not slight the praise they bring, For love and kindness please Him more The gentle child that tries to please, Great God forgive, whenever we find CHRIST ON EARTH.-C.

There's not a place in earth's vast round, In ocean deep, or air, Where skill and wisdom are not found, For God is everywhere. There's not of grass a single blade, Where heavenly skill is not displayed, There's not a tempest dark and dread, There's not a star whose twinkling light, Around, beneath, below, above, Wherever space extends, There heaven displays its boundless love, And power with mercy blends. Then rise, my soul, and sing His name, And all His praise rehearse, Who spread abroad earth's glorious frame, And built the universe. HEAVEN. There is a land of pure delight, There everlasting spring abides, Sweet fields beyond the swelling flood But timorous mortals start and shrink Oh, could we make our doubts remove, |
