ACQUAINTANCE.

Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee.—Job, xxii. 21.

Acquaint thee, O mortal! acquaint thee with God;

And joy, like the sunshine, shall beam on thy road;

And peace, like the dewdrop, shall fall on thy head;

And sleep, like an angel, shall visit thy bed.

Acquaint thee, O mortal! acquaint thee with God;

And he shall be with thee when fears are abroad,

Thy safeguard in danger that threatens thy path,—

Thy joy in the valley and shadow of death.
