Never was to chosen race

That unftinted tide confined; Thine is every time and place,

Fountain sweet of heart and mind!

Secret of the morning ftars,
Motion of the oldeft hours,
Pledge through elemental wars
Of the coming spirit's powers!

Breathing in the thinker's creed,
Pulfing in the hero's blood,
Nerving fimpleft thought and deed,
Freshening time with truth and good,

Consecrating art and song,

Holy book and pilgrim track, Hurling floods of tyrant wrong From the sacred limits back,

Life of Ages, richly poured,

Love of God, unspent and free, Flow ftill in the Prophet's word And the People's liberty!

Rev. S. Johnson. 1863.

Author of good, to Thee we turn

A voice from the desert comes awful and fhrill.

Awake, my soul, awake to prayer

Awake, ye saints, and raise your eyes

I and my house are ready, Lord

I beg of you, I beg of you, my brothers

I cannot find Thee! Still on reftless pinion
If any be diftreffed, and fain would gather
I know not if or dark or bright

I look to Thee in every need

I love to steal awhile away

I'm returning, not departing

In the beginning was the Word

Kingdoms and thrones to God belong

Let deepest filence all around

Let me count my treasures
Life of Ages, richly poured.
Long plunged in sorrow, I resign

Lord, a happy child of Thine

Lord of all being! throned afar

Lord, teach us how to pray aright

Lord, the lights are gleaming from the distant shore

Lord, Thou haft given me a cell

[ocr errors]

Lord, many times I am a-weary quite

Love constitutes my crime

Love! if thy destined sacrifice am I.

Men of thought! be up and stirring

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord

My God! in life's most doubtful hour

My God, in Thee all fulness lies

My God! is any hour so sweet
My God, it is not faithleffness

My God, my Father! while I ftray

My God! Thy boundless love I praise
My God protects; my fears begone

My God, whose gracious pity I may claim

My heart is easy and my burden light.
