by Unknown

Convictions like the sun’s meridian beams,

Illuminate thy mind.

Samuel Hayes.

Father! that book

With whose worn leaves the careless infant plays,

Must be the Bible. Therein thy dim eyes

Will meet a cheering light; and silent words

Of mercy breathed from Heaven, will be exhaled

From the blest page unto thy withered heart.

John Wilson.
