On through the dark days fading from their prime,

As a sweet dew to keep your souls from blight.

Earth will forsake—oh! happy to have given

Th' unbroken heart's first fragrance unto Heaven.

Mrs. Hemans.

I WORSHIP THEE.

I worship thee, sweet Will of God!

And all thy ways adore;

And every day I live, I seem

To love thee more and more.
