alth, in searching for God, spreads her soaring
And throughout the universe circumscrbes all
sne crowds Eternity as It were into day,
And infinite Space In moment she can survey.
We, by faith, the Invisible God behold,
And see our names on Eternitys archives
II gives a gratifying assurance within
That we are eleansed and washed from the
Through faith we understand that the worlds
were framed
And with light were they by the same omnpo
tence famed.
II is unbolief that dams every soul that's lost
That is on the waves of pandemonium tossed;
Death her rem0rseless rights against him de-
cared
At a time when ii seemed be could in no wise be
spared
She's an inexhaustible monster that cannot be
STAYED
She drives her chariot with scythe pick-axe
and spade,
without any regard to prince, king, sceptered
With her sharp scythe she is cutting everything
down.
She has her armies marsholed and her banners
unfurled
And win never stop till she depopulotes the
world.
She is now bringing her victims in the earth
away
To be gathered together at the Judgment Day,
And she does her every possible means employ
Her opposers into her death-trap to decoy.
There's no power TO which man can possibly
look
To keepher from driving him to Jordans brook,
With black stars and stripes her banner of ruin
| is decked,
And sne's never been known flag of truce to
| respect
She tax from the lords the king from his
throne,
And takes the poor widow from her poor hut
| alone
Then takes the culprit from his lonely prison
And sends him. without any remorsc, down to
hell.
Her eyes have not been closed for lo six thou
| sand years,
Nor has she been known to relent at sorrows
tears
Her heart is as hard as the nethermost mil.
| stone
For she's ne'er yet been known to be grieyed by
grOan.
Her trumpet for victims will continue to sound
Till she tumbles all of Adam 5 race beneath the
ground.
she faters not ut the groaus on the battlefield
Nor does she blush at the blood on the soldiers
shield
After she has buried them deep beneath the
ground,
She's not content while bone Of them can be
found.
with her sharp teeth she does gnaw them night
and day.

Now, when consider his aud my relation
II brings HE down to see his consideration,
Knowing that soon must meet with the same
, fate,
In being rushed through Deaths mysterious
gate,
With breakers all of and throttle pulled open
wide,
) To Der shed into Eternlty's soundless tide,
It's beyond dispute, every living mortal's lot
To be rushed through, whether prepared or not
We re all like the deaf adder that stoppeth hel
) car
And scarce suffer ourselves the conscience voice
to hear.
/ Worldly enterprises have been ourdvining rod
And bow longer at Dollars throne than we do Al
D Gods
We can scarcely stop to see our neighbor buried
! After their soul across Jordans river is tcrried
q We arc so engaged after the almighty dollar
That we have no time our friends to the gray,
o. to follow.

: A-saillug on a fathomless sea of trouble.
It's driven against the breakers by the mac
