And risen, seek the things above.

Strophe xcv.

See Epistle for Easter-day, in the Church Service. The moral of all is, in the words of Augustine, “Ibam longe a te in plura sterilia semina dolorum, O tardum gaudium meum!”

LAYS,
MEDITATIVE AND DEVOTIONAL.

Of its own impulse found a holier strain.
