But, turning fi'om this fleeting world, 

 Look to thy Sun in heaven above'' : 



Be clothed in His saving robe', 

 Bask in the rays of His pure love. 



Thy prime desire a holy name, 



Thii'st after righteousness and peace ; 



For whilst thou seekest heavenly things 

 All earthly blessings shall increase. 



The morrow's good, the morrow's ill, 

 "When it arrives, shall thee suffice ; 



Confide in God, be full of faith ; — 



Thou hast been bought with matchless price ^. 



What though cold death must freeze thy veins ! 



^Tiat though thy frame shall droop and die ! 

 Thy root lies buried in the ground ; 



Thou shalt arise ; thy Spring is nigh ". 



Transplanted then to brighter scenes 

 Where Lilies bloom that never fade, 



Thou shalt appear a " son of mom," — 

 Thy raiment tenfold glorious made°.
