Their hopes above this fading world, and pray.

E. J. Eames.

The solemn tolling of the Sabbath bell

Hath something in it holier than of earth;

And when loud anthems to Jehovah swell,

The spirit longeth for a heavenly birth;

And, catching impulse from the good man’s prayer,

The heart is softened to contrition there.

Isaac F. Shepard.
