There laid they Jesus.—John, xix. 41, 42.

The mighty Lord of heaven and earth,

By Gihon’s pure and placid stream,

That from the new-born hills came forth,

To sparkle in the sun’s young beam—

Upraised, all lovely as a dream

To hearts of holy feeling given,

The garden-bowers with joy that teem

For the peculiar wards of heaven:—

For man and woman—blessed pair!
