APPFAL OF THE WESTERN INIGRANT.
Land Of the + ~ with what thrilling emotion,
Memory recalls thee our far distant home,
While DER the West 10 the wide-spreadng Ocean
BY vale, stream and prairie now eXies we roam
Far from the home and the haunts Of childhood
sturdy undauned our dwelling We reari
Yer do We sigh; for alas. on the wildwood
Shinef Sabbath, with blessings 10 cheer
ChOnis-Land Of the East,
Gay round cabin doors, children are playing,
NOught have they heard OF Their God or Ills day
Like lambs from the fold n the wilderness staying,
No guide 10 thir feet, and no light 10 their way
Land OF The East, sc.
Never at eve when the freight Is glowing
Bright on our hearth, do they gather around,
To hang DER the pages winningly showing
Where comfort and peace and true Wisdom are found,
Land Of the East &c.
Aid us oh aid u.s. from out your rich fountains
Send ms the S0bbaNschool, blessed by Cod
Syvin be their feet DER valleys snd mountains,
Who bring glad news in the name OF the Lord
Land Of The East. &c.
