THE HILLS OF GOD.

Published at the request Of A. z. b.
'Tis like a narrow valley land,
This earthly way of mine;
Before me, clad in glory grand,
see the hills divine
Those heights the sanity long have trod
The hills Of Hope, the hills of God.
Though nists of doubt enfold me in.
Though through the dark 1 grope.
The upward path my feet may win
That mounts the heavenly slope:
And walking through the lowlands here,
know the hills of God are near.
Unto them oft lift my eyes,
That oft with ears are wet
And through the mist they calmly rise
Where sun no more shall set.
To me forever grand and fair.
The hills of God-my help is there.
