THIS DO IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME.

Ir human kindness meets return,
And owns the grateful tie;
If tender thoughts within us burn,
To feel a friend is nigh;

Oh, shall not warmer accents tell

The gratitude we owe

To Him who died our fears to quell,
Our more than orphan's woe!

[Noel.

While yet his anguish'd soul survey'd
Those pangs he would not flee:
What love his latest words display'd-
"Meet, and remember me !"

Remember Thee !-thy death, thy shame, Our sinful hearts to share:

Oh, mem'ry, leave no other name

But His recorded there !

COMFORT IN AFFLICTION.

[Moore.

OH, thou who dry'st the mourner's tear,
How dark this world would be,

If, when deceiv'd and wounded here,
We could not fly to thee!

The friends who in our sunshine live,
When winter comes are flown;
And he who has but tears to give,
Must weep those tears alone.

But thou wilt heal the broken heart,
Which, like the plants that throw
Their fragrance from the wounded part,
Breathes sweetness out of woe,

When joy no longer soothes or cheers,
And e'en the hope that threw
A moment's sparkle o'er our tears
Is dimm'd and vanish'd too.

Oh, who could bear life's stormy doom,
Did not thy wing of love

Come brightly wafting through the gloom

Our peace-branch from above!

Then sorrow, touch'd by thee, grows bright
With more than rapture's ray;

As darkness shews us worlds of light
We never saw by day.

RESIGNATION.

[Edmeston.

OH, thou whose mercy guides my way,

Though now it seem severe,

Forbid my unbelief to say,

There is no mercy here!

Oh, grant me to desire the pain

That comes in kindness down,
More than the world's supremest gain
Succeeded by a frown.

Then, though thou bend my spirit low,
Love only shall I see;

The very hand that strikes the blow
Was wounded once for me.

COMMUNION WITH CHRIST.

WHEN in the hours of lonely woe
I gave my sorrows leave to flow;
And anxious fear and dark distrust,
Weigh down my spirit to the dust;

[Noel.

When not e'en friendship's gentle aid
Can heal the wounds the world has made;
Oh, this shall check each rising sigh,—
That Jesus is for ever nigh!

His counsels and upholding care
My safety and my comfort are;
And he shall guide me all my days,
Till glory crown the work of grace.

Jesus in whom but thee above
Can I repose my trust, my love?
And shall an earthly object be
Lov'd in comparison with thee?

My flesh is hastening to decay;
Soon shall the world have pass'd away;
And what can mortal friends avail,

When heart, and strength, and life, shall fail!

But oh, be thou, my Saviour, nigh,
And I will triumph while I die;
My strength, my portion, is divine,
And Jesus is for ever mine!

HEAVEN.

THE golden palace of my God,
Tow'ring above the clouds, I see,
Beyond the cherubs' bright abode,
Higher than angels' thoughts can be:
How can I in those courts appear
Without a wedding garment on?
Conduct me, thou Life-giver, there,

Conduct me to thy glorious throne;
And clothe me with thy robes of light,
And lead me through sin's darksome night,
My Saviour and my God?

THE END.
