Saturday press. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1880-1885, 1881-11-05

Ere long cnkindled by this light,
As planets lighted by the sun.
Nine orbs, and seven 10 them linked
In love, their glowing circuits run.
Around these soon, MS circling moons
Around the orbing planets glenm,
Shine twenty .cight glitnmcring lights
Made radiant by the parent beam,
Nor do the crcling stars above
More sweetly light our heavens blue,
Than glow these cleaning hearts of love
In beams forever warm and true.
Through fifty years, unquenched by storms
Or waters wild, this light has shonc;
And now its peariy morning beams
Gain tints Of glory from Gods throne.
Thou light above, Shine through this light
Thy golden elores Heaven born
Shine that the beauties Of its eve
May be the dawn of Heavens morn.
After this came remarks congratulatory
nd reminiscent by the pastor at Makawao,
Rev. 7. H. Rouse, followed by prayer; and
his part of the exercises was concluded
" an original song. written for the occa-
ion by Rev. j. M. Alexander, to the tune
f Aud Lang Syne, which was rendered
S solo by Miss Shelley of the Seminary,
he children joining in the chorus.
Should lifes long pathway be forgot,
Which hand III hand was trod
Through Fifty years of welded love,
BY gracious help of God
VIXEN bright and golden mem'ries shine
From days of Aud Lang Syne5
With strength from old Kentucky State
And beauty won from where
Flow SusQuehanna's waters bright,
Began that pathway fair;
And sweet and tender nem'ries shine
From days of Aud Lang Syne.
Guided by holy zeal that path
Led far Ter ocean blue,
Six months ON Av'rick' 8 rocking deck
To islands strange and new.
And long the hearts of love did pine
For friends of Aud Lang Syne.
Soon from Oahu's shores it led
To where Marquesans grim
Asked the first child. to IN IKE him King,
Or else for eating him;
And strange and weird some mem'r ies shine
From days of AUD lang Sync.
Again DER seas it led to give
Waioli joy and hope,
To light Lahainauna's hill,
And bless Waiuku's slopc
And holy, blessed mem'rie, shine
From days of Aud Lang Syne.
Long has the joyous pathway been
Der lands and oceans blue;
And now its wayside flow ~ of love
Yield fruits of golden hue;
And ripper, Sweeter blessings shine
Than those Of Auld Lang Syne.
While now the tread of age grows weak,
And gray the brows cnfold,
The weet and tender love of youth
Has meier grown dim or old; I"
For now the hearts more warmly shine
Than i'll the Amid Lang Syne.
That path. when viewed through fifty years,
OF care for children nine,
And holy toll for Heavens cause
"Secms all transformed to shine,
For holy light did e'er enShrine
Those DAYS of Aud Lang Syne.
We praise the Lord whore hand has led
Through all this path of love;
Long may he lead through scenes of earth
And to the Home above,
Where brighter joys will ever shine
Than those of Aud Lang Syne!
