8 sedretaet's report. 



Thine Heaven's serene, eternal calm ! 



The vision fades ; 1 take again 

 Life's duties up, like other men. 

 But the perfect calm, the peace 

 That wraps me, and shall still increase, 

 Until, this happy journey o'er. 

 My feet shall touch that shining shore, — 

 Shall touch, and leave it nevermore ! 

 So live I on, — contented still 

 To go or stay, as suits His will ; 

 And singing in my heart this song 

 Of sweetness as I pass along : — 



Great God of nature and of me ! 



If such my earthly legacy, 



And such the glorious glimpses even. 



The faint foreshadowings of heaven. 



The taste of sweets in store for me. 



What shall the full fruition be ? — 



And what the treasures of thy love 



And grace laid up for me above ? 



I cannot tell ; I but believe 



No tongue can speak nor heart conceive 



The sweetness, the surpassing bliss, 



Of that world, far transcending this! 



I cannot tell ; I only know 



I own all things, — above, below : — 



All things, — and still, through gain and loss. 



Through hero's crown and martyr's cross, 



I see but one bright promise shin-e, 



I read but one illumined line, 



I know but this : — all things are mine !
