The lium of the city now is stopped, And the chiming bells there echoes drop, Sounds of a nation singing praise, Unto God their voices raise. Our trials and troubles we bring to Him, For God is the Almighty King, He will guide us on our way, If we humbly watch and pray. To Jesus then for salvation cry, O Lord, to save us or else we die ; He will light us on the way, To an eternal Sabbath Day. Our Sabbath Day will soon be past, O receive our souls at last, Then loud anthems we will sing. All glory to the Immortal King. 3hild. streets.' ne, MOTHER.
