CONCLUDING PIECES. 
325 
Know’st thou where brighter radiance gleam’d 
Than e’er ’mid Sinai’s darkness beam’d 1 
Q dream not holier thoughts would rise 
Neath Eastern than ’neath Western skies, 
But triumph in thy blessed lot — 
Thou canst not be where God is not: 
Yet if at sight of me there wake 
A strain of praise for Jesu’s sake 5 
O if I guide one thought of thine 
To scenes of heaven and things divine, 
I graced not Tabor’s hill in vain, 
Nor vainly cross’d the surging main. 
“ And, Christian! every flower that blows 
May tell thee of thy Saviour’s love— 
The bird that sings, the star that glows, 
May lift thine eye and faith above. 
“ And when earth’s amaranth flowers are fled, 
May deathless charms for thee remain ; 
When my unfading leaves are dead, 
Thou shalt eternal bloom retain. 
“ Yes !—perish all beneath the sky ; 
Eternal life thy God will give — 
I bloom’d on Tabor’s mount to die ; 
Rise thou on Zion’s hill to live.”
