FATHER RYAN.
(By Rev Beverly D. Tucker.)
There was never a voice to utter
The grief and pain Of the land,
TILL his music awoke responsive
10 the tender touch of his hand.
And mourned by the graves of her
dead:
And she longed for the consolation
That comes when the tears are shed.
Till f,is strains, as they fell, awakened
In the soul that bent Ger, the sod,
New faith in the gracious designingS-
In the hidden purpose of God.
He'd learned. as he knelt at His altar.
To trust In Omnipotent Love:
And his song had an inspiration
Which echoed the music above.
He took all our idle complainings.
And 10! in their stead, In one mouth.
His song. as a low duplication.
Weiled up from the heart Of the
South.
His strains. full Of pathos and glory.
AND heard of Il listening world,
EntwiEed. us wreath of immortelles.
The flag that we YEARLY furled.
There is never a grave so humble.
In all the desolate land.
But his verse has inscribed upon IL
An epitaph stately and grand.
on nc IN. more-by the beds of the dying,
His song, like a low miserere
Goes up from his plying breastI
"A wall for the woe of his people.
plen that Gods mercy would snare
ana we take up his lowly burdens
And change all our murm Mrs 80
