MORNING. by KREBLE.
Hues of the rich unfolding morn,
That, ere the glorious sun be born,
by some soft touch invisible,
Around his path are taught to swell;
Thou rustling breeze SO fresh and gay,
That dances forth at opening day,
And brushing by with joyous wing,
Wakenest each little leaf to sing
Ye fragrant clouds Of dewy steam,
BY which deep pool and tangled stream
Fay, for soft rains in season given,
Their tribute to the genial heaven;
Why waste your treasures of delight
Upon our thankless, joyless sight,
Who, day by day to sin awake,
Seldom of Heaven and YOU partakeo
Oh timely happy, timely wise,
Hearts that with rising morn arise,
Eyes that the beam celestial view,
Which ever more makes all things new,
New every morning Is the love
Our Weakening and uprising prove;
Through sleep and dafkeless safely brought,
Restored to life, and power, and thought
New mercies, each returning day,
Hover aroundu while we pray;
New perils past, new sins forgiven,
New thoughts of God, new hopes of heaven
IT. in our daily course, our mind
Be set to hallow all we find,
New treasures still, of countless price,
God will provide for sacrifice.
Old friends, old scenes, viii loveiier be,
As more of heaven in each we see;
Some softening CLEAN Of love and prayer
Shall dawn on every cross and care.
As for some dear familiar strain
Untired we ask and askagain,
Ever, in its melodious store,
Finding spell unheard before:
Such is the bliss Of souls serene.
When they have sworn and steadfast mean,
Counting the cost IN all t'espy
Their God, in all themselves deny
Oh, could we learn that sacrifice,
What lights would all around us rise
How would our hearts with wisdom talk
Along life's dullest, dreariest walk,
We need not bid for coistered cell.
Our neighbor and our work farewell;
Nor strive to wind ourselves too high
For sinful man beneath the sky:
The trivial round, the common task,
Would furnish all we ought to ask;
Room to deny ourselvesa road
To bring us daily nearer God.
Seek we no more content with these,
Let present rapture, comfort, ease,
As Heaven shall bid them, come and GO
The secret this OF rest below.
Only, 0 Lord, in thy dear love,
Fit us for perfect rest above;
And help us, this and every day,
To live more nearly as we pray.
