O ! beautiful iu life and spirit ! Them Hast truly learned Christ , and in thy breast His pure and gentle precepts are imprest , A Christian ' s peace upon thy calm white brow . Thou fear ' st not sorrow—and the overthrow Of fondest hope in thee could never raise E ' en one distrustful sigh—for round thee plays Religion ' s light and virtue ' s angel glow . Thou dost not shrink from pain—and when the cross Is heavy on thee , still thy smile of love Beams sweetly through thy tears—and far above Thy ' rapt heart soars for comfort in its loss .
God is in all thy thoughts , and in thy face Beam faith , and tenderness , and heavenly grace . J . E . R

O ! open to that young and suffering heart , Father of Mercies ! that bright blessed ray Of power | o chase the fiends of care away , And tenderer thoughts and sweeter hopes impart .

Go , Pilgrim , take the word of life , The light , the glory of thy path , And fearless enter mortal strife , All trial human nature hath . Thou shalt not fail if by that guide Thy steps are led—if in thine heart That blest commandment thou dost hide Which in eternity hath part . When thou goest forth , by it be
led—When sleep falls softly o ' er thine eyes , Be that the guardian round thy head , The trust that soothes tired nature ' s sighs And when the gentle light of heaven , Revives thy soul , be thy first thought The hope , the peace that word has given—The joy , the virtue it has wrought .
So fix thine eyes—and if they move From the blest record here below , O ! be it to that Heaven above , That source whence all our blessings flow So walk through life , thy Father ' s hand , Although invisible , thy guard ; And thou shalt reach that purer land , Where faithfulness hath its reward .
