EV ENING STAR.
HEBREW REQUIEM.

10 Lnou in peace, - we would not have thee lin
yer
Inthe low Inazes Of this tainted earth,
Where every JOY il touched with sorrows finger,
And tears succeed the brightest hours of truth. {
Thine upward gaze Is fixed upon the dwelling,
Where sin and sorrow never more are known,
And seraph lips the loud Hosanna swelling,
Have caught the music Of celestial tore.
100 thou in peace :" thy home on earth now leav-
ing,
In he lone chambers Of the dead to dwell;
Thou hast no portion in the sorrow heaving,
The heart whose anguish tears too feebly tell. =
\ path OF light and gladnesS is before thee;
The hope of Israel in fruition thine;
And thou hast gazed upon the beams Of glory
Around the throne Of lsrael's God that shine.
Go thou in peace - temptation cannot sever
-, Ihc tie That now unites thee to thy God;
Ahe voice Of sin, Of unbelief, can never
Enter tie maZes OF thy low abode.
9 leave thee here, In mingled JOY and sadness,
Our hearts are weak, our hopes are faint and
But Ia tee Lord we turn with chastened gladneSs,
And Weld our friend, our brother, up to Him.
