To smooth the pathway to the tomb.
To feed the orphan and the poor,
The warfare of the world endure;

To love with tears that Sayiours feet.
To fold m angels wings below,
And hover o er the cot of woe;
To lay the Bethlehem babe to rest,
And pour a balm 0 er sorrows breast.

TO call celestial favors down;
To teach aspiring, ardent youth
The golden bcnisons Of truth.
First at the Saviour's tomb to weep,
First in the fields Of faith to reap;
The right to suffer and to pray,
TO guide TO Heaven the pilgrims way.
The right to bless affections hearth,
And flower the thorny roads of earth
To cheer the saddoned brow of csre,
And paint the future realm, so fair.
