rupticn, doth your Father in Heaven prepare the
precious essence Of life, pure. cold water But In
the green glade and erasey dell. where the red deer
wanders and the chill loves to play, there GOD
himself brews il; and down, low down in the deep

rlls sing; and high upon th. mountain tops, where
the naked grinite eli,t re. lie gold in the snn,
where the storm cloud broods and the thund T.

sea, where the hurricane howls music, and org
waves the orus. sweeping the march OF

shining in the icy gem, till the trees seemed turned

setting sun, a white gsuze around the miinisht
