The truce OF God with care and strIfel

Has plucked the very hower OF life.

When all tho hard days tasks are DER;
And, when for US thy wide door swings
Our pain our dread. they are no moro.
Safe In thy wide encirclug arms.
We dream perCnance that we are hlost;
Or harly drink tho enthrAIlinR balns
That lead TO deep unconscious rest.
Long, long. rs lasts thy tender spell,
SO long Ia sorrow put to rout
All we fOrebode. desire as we'll
In perfect peace is blotted out
But sleep divine suroeaso of pninl

We wake to all the strain and strouR
And tumult OF this mortal shore.
But at the last by thee embraced
We md ut length how sweet serene
Their rest who ali ife's acts utplayed
