An Easter Hymn.

The sur has come again and fed
The lily's lamp with light,
And raised from dust a rose, rich red,
And 4 little star-fiower, white;
He also guards the Pleiades
And holds his planets true;
But We've know not which of these
The easier task to do.
Rut since from heaven He stoops to
breathe
flower to balmy air,
Surely our lives are not beneath
The kindness of his care;
And, as He guides the blade that
groupes
Up from the barren sod,
So, from the ashes Of our hopes,
Will beauty grow toward God.
Whate'er thy name, o soul Of life
We know but that thou art
Thou seest. through all our waste of
strife,
One cropping human heart,
Weary of words and broken sight,
r But moved with deep accord
To worship where thy lilies light
The altar of it's Lord.
