TREASURES IN EARTHEN VESSELS.

TREASURES IN EARTHEN VESSELS.
.a- THE BEREAvED. a-.----
Oh let me weep, since earthly treasures fail;
God given treasures in such vessels frail:
We cheerfully can smile when God has given;
May.we as freely weep when Ged has riven.
When smiles thy partner, from ifes troubles free !;
When laughs thy loving prater on thy knee;
/ When clustering blessings circe round thy hearth
| Then bless that God who gave those blessings birth
| But when that God who all those blessings gave,
Shall, one by one, consign them TO the grave;
Wien those dear tendrils that the heart entwine,
Are severed by thy hand, thy hand divine
Oh let me weep-earth's choicest treasures fail,
God-given treasures in such vessels frail.
Fra are those precious gems our paths bestrcw,
! They sparkle and exhale like morning dew
They fade like golden clouds OF early day,
So fragile are our teHements of clay.
Partner in life thy sun at noon-day set;
And our loved little one has with thee met
Rest, rest thou loved ones, now from anguish free,
Fain would wing my weary way to thee.
! lntinite Father! Thou these changes guide
May we, with chldlike trust, in thee confde.
I was God who gave twas God recalled the same
And may we ever bless his holy name
Oh let me weep-earth IS fearful vale,
And our best gifts are held in vessels frail.
Is there world on high unmarried by sin :?
Then let us strive that blessed world to win;
And may our hearts respond, in accents meet,
Death is now welcome, yet life still is sweet.
Our !ondly cherished friends, and loved ones dear,
Have Gone before us, and are resting there:
, ! in the distance hear their hIisslul lay
Which hcckens me from earth to heaven awav
would not undcrratc earhs blessings given
May tic> prove preudes to the Joys of heaven.
There is much Joy ON earth-yct how fnrlorn
It's fragrant with the rosc--und yet the thorn!
Oh, let me weep earth is fearful vnlc. .
And our best gifts are held in ves sells frail.

The wounded deer iorsakes the PLAIN,
And seeks the silent wood
To die amid the branching trees

In the silence of my early home,

And the glory Of thine eye.
And flowers bring thee, withered,
To scatter Ger nay grave
Oh strcw them there all tenderly-
They are the flowers he gave
But Sister Oh, my Sister!
Why weep ST thou that come
To greet once more this peaceful spot,
My happy childhood's home
IT was here we chased the butterfly,
And plucked the scented flowers,
T was here that passed 50 .Iolily

Der the sunlight of my joyousness
Since | stood beside thee last

On thousand and ten thousand flowers
The glorious sun doth shine:
But !, the humbIest flower that blooms,

It's brightcs, radiance shone
