His, truths defying time.
Like thy broad base his love is far outspreading;
He scatters blessings wide,
Like the pure springs which are forever shedding
Sweet waters down thy side.
“The mountains shall bring peace,”—a peace transcending
The peace of sheltered vale;
Though there the elements ne’er mix contending,
And its repose assail,
Yet ’tis the peace of weakness, hiding, cow’ring;—
