Behold THE Daughter of the Kingr'
Called King of Kings, beneath whose
wing
She goes, Respondent with the glow
OF a celestial bright halo.
Her willing steps are always turned
Where there are blessings to be earned
In the eternal Masters name
She is not one who strives for fame,
For that she scorns and would regard
AS in the nature of reward.
'Tis love for mankind guides her feet
To some poor sufferer, where sweet
And sympathetic words and deeds
Bring comfort unto him who bleeds
As he lies stricken on the way
That rugged one called lies pathway.
Behold Tho Daughter Of she Kingw
No common beauty doth she bring:
No ordinary charms 10 fling.
Like flowers strowh, us she doth move
Upon the blessed path Of love.
Now to some lonely hut she comes.
Where want and sduaior have their
homes,
Where suffering and grief reside;
An unseen angel for her guide,
And, seel we look and JOY to trace
seraph's smile upon her face.
If Daughter of the King, then she
Must sister 20 the angels be.
Blest Charityi thou'rt like the bow
OF promise, which the heavens throw
Above us, whose broad span takes in
Pardon for multitude OF sin.
The bow that bids faipn mankind hope.
That we are not condemned TO srone
Forever in deep despair.
The King will lift US up and cheer
Our hearts and beckon lis 10 see
The way to immortality
o, beauteous Daughters OF the King!'
Receive the homage that we bring;
For, II His daughters, surely We
Must sisters of the angels be,
Whom heaven has sent 10 render less
Mans suffering and wretchedness!
