CONCLUSION. 437 



to know that ''this God is our God for ever and 

 ever !" Blessed revelation ! that has opened such 

 springs of sweet and lasting joy in the wilderness of 

 a sinner's heart ! 



" If music, with its mysteries of sound, 



Gives to the human heart a heavenward feeling ; 



The beauty and the grandeur which are found 



Wrapping in lustre this fair earth around. 



Creation's wondrous harmonies revealing, 



And to the soul in truth's strong tongue appealing. 



With all the magic of those secret powers, 



Which, mingling with the lovely band of light, 



The sun in constant undulation showers 



To mould the crystals, and to shape the flowers. 

 Or give to matter the immortal might 



Of an embracing soul — should, from tliis sod. 



Exalt our aspirations all to Grod."* 



" For of him, and through him, and to him are 

 ALL things ; to whom be glory for ever. Amen." 



* Hunt's " Poetry of Science," 162.
