A day is as a thousand years,

And a thousand years as a day.

Thy will, O God, is sure alway;—

This faith our darkness cheers:—

Thine, equally, the flying day,

And the march of a thousand years!

ASSURANCE.

Not where the Martyrs knelt, but where we kneel,

Is holy ground for us and ours;—

Not what the Saints have felt, but what we feel,
