THE itAISING OF LAZARUS

BY MRS. ABDY

Saviour of peace, of mercy, and affection!
Great was thy might to succour and to save,
When Bethany's sad sisters, in dejection.
Led thee, to weep upon their brother' Wonder.

The word was spoken—they beheld, in
That blessed word reverse the spoiler's doom

;
Thy presence broke the bands of death asund
Thy voice reviv'd the tenant of the tomb.

Lord, though to serve thee humbly we endeavour,
We may not hope such bounties to attain ;
'We lay our loved ones in the grave for ever,
Nor shall they rise to mortal life again ;
Yet may we each recal, in heavy sadness,
Some friends fur whom ow into gladness our secret tears are shed
0 Lord, convert our sorr
Raise, we implore, the spiritually dead.

The boon of life they seemingly inherit,
And in the crowd they bear an active part ;
But frozen is the dull and joyless spirit,
Grace has not touched the cold and languid heart
' holy word a law of rigour;
4ame from them no adoration wins i
Y move in outward healthfulneand sins.ss and vigour,
Yet are theyjead in trespasses

Lord, to our fond and tender prayers restore them ;
Teach them to feel thy greatness and thy worth,
Spread thy divine and holy influence and
them,
As when thou widest. " Lazarus, come forth."
onfessing,
liecame, in gratitude the boon c
Th &led him back t o of earthly strife.
0 grant to those we love a scenes
dearer blessing
Call them from death unto eternal life.
