take great pleasure in introducing them to ouI
readers.1 Goldsboro Pat. f. Rep.
am weary of straying Oh, fan would I rest
In that far distant land of the pure and the Lest,
Where sin no longer IFS Establishments spread
And tears and temptations forever are fled.
am weary of hoping, where hope is untrue;
AS fair but feeting, morning bright dew,
long for the land, whose blest promise alone
Is changeless and pure Eternity's throne.
l am weary of signing DER sorrows of earth,
Der Joys glowing visions that fade their birth,
Der pangs of the loved, which cannot assuagc,
Ger the blghtngs of youth and the weakness of age.
1 am weary of loving what passes away,
The fairest and dearest, alas may not stay,
long for that land where these partings DER,
Where death and the tomb can divide hearts
am weary, dear Saviour, of grevinS thy love.
o, when shall dwell in thy presence above =?
1 am weary but o, let me never repine,
Since thy love- and thy TRUTH and thy presence mine.

glorious welcome to their friends who came from
