There is pure and priceless gem,

That pa!es not in the gorgeous ray
That beams along the vault Of blue.
'Tis brighter than The gliuering stars
That cluster in the milky way,
And richer Than the golden light
That sparkles 10 the noonIide ray.
It's brightness CLEANS 10 every cline,
Pervades all lands and fills all space
Ga every shrub and flower lha, grows,

'Tis richer than the golden hue
That clusters on the brow Of day,
And loveiier Than the silver tint

Aud earth holds not within her breast
A treasure half so rich and fair.

And angels worship at its shIine.
