slightly cut, and the harness somewhat
broken, but the carriage kept right side

AN EASTER HYMN.

Swift rom the gloom Of the rocky tomb,
Wheie The angels fair are keeping
Thcir watch ia the grey of the early day,
Whilst Ma:3Ga'en is weeping;
Doh Jesus rise 10 his auae:s' eyes,
Mo g 1r'llisnt than the sun;
Clothed in the might Of eternal light,
True God, rue n,dn in ore.
Eack has tccnrol from that prison cold
It's ?orderous gate of Stone, -
ri emblem given that the doors Of heaven
From thence shall be open thrown.
Here the cEerubs sung and the ivy clung,
With Il last. long Jinge ing gasp;
For the lonely grave, like Bethlehem's
cave,
Is lockcdin the ivy's clasp.
Aud the fern leaves, too, whose emerald
Was dyed with the saving shower
Which criptures tell, from Jesus fell,
In the passions fis5 dark hour.
1t hath been said, initials red
The fern plant won that day;
nat IL = SNeti Oh green. WIS SiaNch hcSu
With the royal sign-C. J.
For, that il spread an odorous bed,
Meath the sorrowing God that night.
Each streaming pore, dread witness bore
To that agouy's fatbomless height;
That it so;tly crepS where Jesus wept,
And there compressed lay,
As the startled air bore high his prayer:
Lctiais Ch0lice paSs a,cay.
But oh It's the palm, the regal palm,
Emblem of His reuown,
That waves DER the brow OF the Saviour
now,
Bright gem of the martyrs crown.
The angel band to Jesus hand,
Have given the glorious prize;
Hence the sacred tree reserved shall be
For him, who, like Jesus dies;
His warfale past, he shall rest at last,
Meath the regal; spreading palm.
