JESUS IS VIVE. MRS. H. BONAR PASS away earthly joy, Jesus is mine! Break every mortal tie, Jesus is mine! Dark is the wilderness; Jesus alone can bless: Jesus is mine! Tempt not my soul away, Jesus is mine! Here would I ever stay, Jesus is mine! Perishing things of clay, Born but for one brief day, Pass from my heart away, Fare ye well, dreams of night, Jesus is mine! Mine is a dawning bright, Jesus is mine! All that my soul has tried Left but a dismal void, Jesus has satisfied, Jesus is mine! Farewell mortality, Jesus is mine! Welcome eternity, Jesus is mine! Welcome ye scenes of rest, Welcome ye mansions blest, Welcome a Saviour's breast, Jesus is mine! On seeing a picture of Morning on the Mountains. GEORGE HUME How beautiful is morning! I have been, Painter, like thee, a wanderer, when the hills Slept in their own great shadows, and have seen The dawn kiss out the stars, have heard the rills Warbling unseen, and sending forth the thrills Of soothing melody. Methinks thou art My spirit's own interpreter, we gaze In kindred feelings, gaze, aye, heart to heart, THE QUEEN'S AKIVEN. ALEX. RODGERS. GOD bless our lovely Queen, With cloudless days serene; God save our Queen. From perils, pangs and woes, Secret and open foes, Till her last evening close, God save our Queen, From flattery's poisoned streams;- God shield our Queen; With men her throne surround, Firm, active, zealous, sound, Just, righteous, sage, profound;— Long may she live to prove, God bless our Queen. Grant her an Alfred's zeal, Her people's wounds to heal;- Watch o'er her steps in youth;In the straight paths of truth;Lead our young Queen; And as years onward glide, Succor, protect and guide, Albion's hope-Albion's pride; God save our Queen. Free from war's sanguine stain, God guard our Queen. God save our Queen. |
