HIS GIFT.
\ spRISGrIME THOUGHT.


l.
What wilt thou give, o Father dear
Beyond the needs of daily fare,
To soothe the ills that mortals bear
Through all Lies weary wear and tear
To prove Thy tenderest love and care
To this dear little world of ours?
II.
Like zigzag lightning here and there,
Or incense burning through the air
Scattering its fragrance rich and rare,
With speech that only sunbeams dare,
With smiles that all the world could share,
In words that bloomed out everywhere,
The dear God answered zephyr's prayer
81 GIVE TMEM-fo,cos."
