And in itll ubes plant the tree ofpoaee!

WHD lint thy eyee unveil, give thy soul leave
To do the like ; our bodies but forerun
The spirit's duty: true hearte apread and heave
Unto their God u !owen do to the sun ;
Give Him thy fint thoughts then, 10 ebAlt thou keep
Him company all day, and in. Him aleep.

To Thee, our Creator, our homage we bring,
With deep adoration T hy praisee we sing;
To Thee, our good Father, all loving and wiae 1
With e&rllest devotion our pra.yers would arise.

0 Father of Mercy! be with us to-night,
That our souls may be gle.dden'd and glow in thy light :
ln life and in death may our tru.st be in Thee,
Till .the atrea.m of Time merge in Eternity's ae"a.
