"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things, whatsoever I have commanded you: and lo! I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen." Matt. xxviii. 19, 20. YE sacred Heralds of the Lord! To rescue man from endless woe, While wandering through this vale of tears, See, a long train of Adam's race, Deep plung'd in guilt, and stain'd with blood, Are strangers to a pardoning GOD. Then, in the great REDEEMER's name, Declare to earth's remotest bound, Teach the poor penitent to flee The SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS arise, Then shall the wise, though distant fár An absent God. For a small moment have I forsaken thee. THE shades of death surround my soul, To empty scenes of mirth and joy; Friends, profits, honors, pleasures, care, Nor light, nor peace, nor joy are there. And e'en where once thou deign'd'st to mect, The meanest object of thy love, No answers my petitions greet, My prayers no welcome smiles approve. Bereft of God, each star and tree, That glow'd and bloom'd with form divine, Now breaks upon an ear unstrung; Lost the refreshing views of heav'n, Dark are thy ways, dread King of saints; Enjoy his presence, plead for me, Blest once with faith, hope, joy, like thee. death bed, Advice to Matilda, 115, 150 Cogswell, Rev.
