Where lights and shades alternate dwell;

How bright th' unchanging morn appears!

Farewell, inconstant world, farewell!

4Life's duty done, as sinks the clay,

Light from its load the spirit flies;

While heaven and earth combine to say,

"How blessed the righteous when he dies!"

544. C. M. Peabody.

The Christian's Death.

1Behold the western evening light!
