THE POOR MANS SABBATH DAY.

The merry birds are singing,
And from the fragrant sod
The spirits OF a thousand flowers
Go sweetly up to God;
While In his holy temple
We meet to praise and pray
With cheerful voice and grateful lay.
This Summer Sabbath Day!
We thank thee, Lord, for one day
To look heaven In the face!
The poor have only Sunday;
The sweeter Is the grace.
IT'S then they make the music
That sings their week away.
Oh, there's sweetness infinite
In the poor mans Sabbath Day!
IT'S as burst of sunshine
A tender fall Of rain.
That set the barest life a-bloom,
Makes old hearts young again.
The dry and dusty roadside
With smiling flowers SO gay;
'Tis open heaven one day in seven,
The poor mans Sabbath Day!
'Tis here the weary pilgrim,
Doth reach his house of ease;
That blessed house, called beautiful"
And that soft chamber, peace.
The River OF Life runs through his dream
And the leaves Of heaven are at play!
He sees the golden city CLEAN,
This shining Sabbath Day!
Take heart the faint and fearful,
Your cross with courage bear;
So many a face now fearful
Shall shine in glory there;
Where all the sorrow IL ban1shed,
The tears are wiped away;
And all eternity shall be
An endless Sabbath Day!
All! there are empty places.
Since last we mingled here;
There will be missing faces
When we meet another year!
But heart to heart, before we part.
Now altogether pray
That we may meet in heaven to spend
I'M, Ca1 ~
