      HYMN . Jesus wept . Jolm x . ver . 35 > . At death ' s fell power , tbe balmy tears From our illustrious Teacher fell . Yet did they chase away the fears Of those that Jesus lov'd so well ! All hail Benevolence ! hy thce Our "Pilgrim Prophet ' s" life was led , Acti ve while yet he deign'd to be 9 And blessing , when he join'd the dead ! For this thy followers breathe the vow ^ And ' look to thee in radiance bright ^ Andsigh for that u Eternal wow , " Thai knows nor death ? nor sin , uor night I

      Yet tho' beset by death and sin Whilst thro * this world we weary move Sweet sympathy may dwell within , A ray from Gbd—for " God is love ! " Homertori ) Dec 16 , 1817 . C .

      HYMN . fflature the Servant , the virtuous Mind the Temple ^ of the Deity ! Dost thou the Lord of uature see Ik ( Prompted by unremitting care ) With heart sincere and spirit meek . Thro ** pathless regions of the air ? Can earth * thro all her climates shew

      { The place of his resplendent throne ? Her Opal's blaze , her Sapphire ' s glow Are vain , as vainest visions flown ! Go , ask the threat e ning vaults beneath , * The dwellings of primeval Jires 9 If where their flaming * billows breathe The Lord of nature e ' er retires ?

      Or dost thou think the rolling sea Will shew his throne without disguise ? Search—but alas 'twill fruitless be , From tropic unto polar skies !

      No ^ each will tell you , " we obey His will , and change as he ordains 3 Before his frown we fly away 5 His smile our destin ed course regains ! u His temple Is the virtuous mind , IJSuttuM with love of human kind : Where v er we stop , where ' er we stray , We are his servants and obey :

      u Through him , we change this earthly ball : Himself th' unchanging Lord of All I And air , and earth , anci fire , and sea , May change ^ but He ' s Eternity ! " Ho ? nertona £ ! .
