THE BIBLE , It is the one , clear light , That , if all other lamps grow dinv Shall never burn less purely bright Or lead astray from Him . It is the golden key
To treasures of celestial wealth-Joy , to the sons of misery , And , to the sick man , health . It is the blessed band . That reaches from th eternal throne , To him , whoe ' er he be , whose hand IVill seize it for bis own .
The gently proffer'd aid Of One who knows us ;—and can best Supply , the beings he hath made With what will make them blest . It is the sweetest sound That infant ears delight to hear , Travelling across the holy ground With God and angels near .
There rests the aching head—There age and sorrow love to go—And how it smooths the dying bed , O let the Christian show ! E .

On the Death of Mrs . Wellbeloved . Tis nqish'd- The divine decree , The awful word % o thee is given , Which bears thee hence from fleeting
joys , To pure and perfect bliss in Heaven . And he , whose soul ^ as link'd with thee , Thy converse all his pains beguiling , Thy love , with mild and even ray , Upon his autumn pathway smiling ,
And they , dear pledges of that love , Who owuM , in thee , so choice a blessing , Whose worth bespeaks thy guardian care , Their minds thy excellence possessing ,
Now mouro thy 16 S 3 ;—bereaved mourn In sorrow pine ;—in misery languish ;—Now , half repress the bursting sigh , Now , vent it with redoubled anguish . While Meinory , sadly-pleasing power ,
Each lOVed and honour ed feature traces ; < 3 ftB 9 *\ sally nothingness" thy form , And clothes it with thy Christian graces :
Paints thee , as when , in happy time , The smile—the fond caress bestowing ; Thine eye with pleasure ' s tear suffused , - Thy breast with fond affection glowing .
Ah vaiq , ah bitter task ! for see ! The loved illusion disappearing . Grief holds anew her cheerless sway , ' A dark and saddening aspect wearing . Soon may their sorrows cease to flow ; And , gentle Peace , their bosoms filling , Bid Ho |> e her cheering influence shed ,
Like heavenly dew , its balm distilling . And if , blest Shade ! the charge be thine , ynseen , unfelt , around them moving , To shield their heads from every harm , In danger ' s path , a safeguard proving ;
How happy , then , on life's rough way To tread , a heavenly guard attending ; Can danger whelta , or snare betray , Thy hand from every ill defending ?
