Trust in God and Perseyere.

BY OLIVER oAKwooD.
Brother, is life's morning clouded?
Has the sunlight ceased to shine?
Is the earth in darkness shrouded?
Wouldst thou at thy lot rcpine?
Cheer up, brother let thy vision
Look above-sce light is near:
Soon will come the next transition
Trust in God and perseyere
Brother, has life's hope receded! !
Hast thou sought its joys in vain
Friends proved false when mostly need,d
Foes rejoicing at thy pain?
Cheer up, brother there's blessing
Waiting for thec-ncver fear;
Foes forgiving, sins confessing,
Trust in God and pcrseyere ~
Brother, all things round are calling,
With united voice, BE strong!
Though the wrongs Of earth be CALLING,
They must lose their strength ere long.
Yea, my brother, though life's troubles
Drive thee near to dark despair,
Soon twill vanish like bubble
Trust in God and Pcrsevere -
lie, from his high throne in Heaven,
Watches every step you take;
IIo will see each fetter riven
Which your foes in anger make.
Cheer up, brothcr-He has power
To dry up the bitter tear;
And, though darkest tempests lower,
Trust in God and persevere !"
Brother, there's a quiet slumber
Waiting for thee in the grave:
Brother, there's a glorious number
Christ in mercy deigns to save
Wait, then, till life's quiet even
Closes round thee calm and clear;
And, till called from earth to heaven,
Trust in God and perscvere !"

And fields and fountains in its beams are bright,
And Nature, rousing from her slumber, shakes
Her dew-washed tresses in its virgin light
Ihe stars are falling, and the god of day."
The wild birds welcome with their roundeay!
Through the green meadow paths to steal,
In this calm hour, when all with joy is rife,
Aud things inanimate seem waking into life
Oh If there is an hour when we may feel
At once our glory and our nothingness,
