[19] JOY IS FOR EARTH, BUT BLISS FOR HEAVEN.— [20.] This world is all full of joy to me, Wherever I roam, by land or seaj Joy reigns o*er cvVy hill and dale, And sports on ev*ry breeze and gale. And smiles in evVy blushiag flowV, And dances in ev'ry laughini? show'r. But bliss on earth is never giv*n ; Joy is for earth, but bliss for heay'n HTfifiBMffa This world is all full of joy to me, It whispers in ev'ry leafy tree, A.nd glows in ev*ry sunbeam bright, And smgs sweet songs in the palo moon- light, There's joy in ev'ry sight and sound Wherever the works of God are found. But bliss, &c. This world is all full of joy to me. Forever it rings most happy and free, Yea, breaks all bounds, and hies away, In youthful sports on a gala day, But reigns most sweet in homes of love, A foretaste below of that above. But bliss, &c. THE LAND OF THE BLEST. [21] Hast thou heard of the land where no sor- row or saddness, Can dim, for a moment, the ligh{ of the skies ? Hast thou heard of the land where the deep toups of gladness, Ne'er melt into tears, ne'er are echoed in sighs. Where music, sweet music, for ever is flow- And flow'rs ever blooming watt fragrance around : 24 Where the weary repose, all their troubiea at rest, 'Tis the Canaan above, 'tis the land of the blest. No eye e'er hath seen its bright splendors, excelling The visions of fancy , the dreams of the soul ; No thought e'er can soar where that anthem is swelling, Nor ear ever hear its deep melodies roll ; And death, with the touch of his cold, icy finger, No more can alarm, for his triumphs are o'er ; Where the weary repose, all their troubles at rest, Tis the Canaan above, His the land of the blest. \^ A FRIEND THAT^S EVER NEAR. [22] Though the days are dark with trouble, And thy heart is filled with fear, There is One that sees thee ever, And will hold thee near and dear. Cheerful hearts and smiling faces Often make thee happy here, Yet no one was e'er so happy But sometimes the clouds appear. 25 There* s a friend that's ever nea.. Never fear, He is ever near, Never, never fear, ;"^ There's a friend that's ever near, Never fear, He is ever near, never fear. All thy prospects will seem brighter When the shadow leaves the heart, And the steps of time beat lighter, When the gloomy clouds depart. Many days have dawned serenely, While the birds sang with delight. But the skies were dark and gloomy Ere the sun had reach' d its height. There's a friend that's ever near, &c* Soon will dawn a brighter morning On a blessed, tranquil she re j Sighs will then give place to singing, Tears to bliss forever more . Thou shall see a world of glory. And eternal joy and bliss j Let not then thy soul be moaning O'er the woes and cares of this. There's a friend that's ever near, &c. TM A LITTLE PILGRIM.

Before the day was done, Without a drop to moister it| Would wither in the sun. Suppose the little breezes, Upon a summer's day, Should think themselves too small to cool The traveler on his way ; Who would not miss the smallest And softest ones that blow. And think they made a great mistake^ If they were talking so ? How many deeds of kindness ' A little child can do, Although it has but little strengtlu And little wisdom too I It wants a loving spirit Much more than strength, to prove How many things a child may do For others, by its love.
