^ ** Blessed are the meek , for they shall inherit the earth . "
Blest are the meek , the sacred train Who from all guiltiness refrain , Through life ' s still varying scene f Who , though the tempest rages fast , Amidst the fury of the blast , Are gentle and serene I
The power which shakes the mountain brow , And bids the knotted oak to bow , And binds the eagle ' s wings , Yet spares the lily ' s tender form , And sheds the fury of the storm , On loftier ,, mightier things .
Sa * while Ambition , Power and Pride , Spread moral desolation wide , And nil the world with woej The meek ,, in secret silence laid , Court the seclusion of the shade , Nor tremble at the blow . i 1 Aq some pure river , deep find wide , In tsilence rolls ; its gentle tide ,
And seeks the boundless sea ^ ., Thus , unobtrusive flow their years , i While to tKeir ardent gaze appears ¦; . . w '"' " ¦¦ " * : abmtieft ^ mityi ' ¦ •• ¦ . - Chh ^^ fi ^ - ¦¦ •^ :. ¦ };; - ¦¦ ; =. ; - / j \[ & Q .

HYMNS .
€ < Blessed are they that mourn , for they shall be comforted , ' *
Come , ye who mourn , and dry your tears , And let your sorrows cease I For , lo ! the Son of Man appears , Who calms the sufferer ' s anxious fears , And soothes his soul to peace I Come > ye who mourn the sinner ' s choice ,
Come , and efface the stain i For , lo ! the blest Redeemer ' s voice Bids every wounded heart rejoice , And whispers peace again ! Come , ye who mourn with pain opprest , And cast your cares behind !
Come , lean upon your Saviour ' s breast , And hush the anxious soul to rest , And calm the troubled mind L Come , ye who weep departed friends I Come , all to sorrow driven ! Lo ! o ' er the grave Hope ' s rainbow bends ,. Whose beauty from the earth extends , Ana reaches up to Heaven 1 Chesterfield . J . C . W :.
