The P1eacher,s Farewell.

How swiftly the year of oar pilgrimage fly,
As week 8, months and seasons roll silently by,
Our DAYS are soon numbered and death
sounds our knell.
We scarce know onr friends till we bid
them farewell.
The RICH 'eous and wicked move swiftly
along,
In crowds to the grave, both the old and the
young.
The good rise to heaven, thu bad sink to hell
They take on life's verge an eternal farewell
o. God are the nations all bound fol the
tomb.
Must hard hearted sinners soon meet thelr
dread doom,
Save save. great Redeemer o, break the
sad spell
Forgive and prepare them 10 bid earth
Farewell fellow sinners we're free from your
blood,
Our message delivered we leave you with
God
We've begged and persuaded, but cannot
compel.
Till iudgement-day, therefore, we bid you
farewell.
O. think on the scenes which await you in
death
The cold clammy sweat and the quick pant
ing breath,
The winding sheet, coffin and slow tolling
bell.
The last solemn, fearful, eternal farewell.
To you, fellow christians, turn with delight;
The grave cannot harm you, your prospects
are bright.
Be faithful and humbe-temptations repel
You'll soon leave this world with smiling
fare well.
Farewell then, my brethren in body we part
But one comm IN Savior unites in heart,
Through grace will conquer the world, flesh
and hell
And then bid this world triumphant farewell.
Farewell 10 its labors, farewell to its cares,
It's thousand misfortunes, temptations apd
snares,
Wen mour on faiths pinious with angels
10 dwell,
Where saints never hear the sad parting fare
well,
