Have passed, and now we sing.

Thy orphans’ cries, thy widows’ tears They almoet check my song.
Thy "public frauds, thy private cheats ‘Thy mean in thought and purse: Who air that wealth upon the streets Which earned the laborer’s curse.
Thy busy souls who slander hatch :— Sach lengthened threads ye spin—
Who mimic those they fain would match And mock at all but sin.
Thy vile and hideons slaughter-fields, Where, on the sodden plain,
As Mind in man to brute force yields, Lie dead, and deathless slain.
Yet, blessed be He! Who to the storm Gave mandate, ‘*Peace, be still!”
Thy friendships were not all mere form, They doings not all ill
For noble hearts, and willing hands,
In thee have found a priz ;
That goal which Change and Time with- stands:
Christ-life the wor!d defies.
Now. blessing Him whose Presence flows Where virion fails to view;
Through Summers's heats and Winter's snows,
We bid the year, Adieu!

His leaflets clothe the tree,
Ho grandeur to the mountain lends, And sways the surying sea.

With power unbounded at His feet
All heaven and earth to move;
Through Calvary’s cross, in Him we greet "Yond Justice, Pardoning Love.
Then, though the Future seemeth dark We need not grope our Way; However small, Heaven's tiny spark, "Twill light to perfect day.
The Hand which paints the rose’s b'oom And tints the bright blue eky,
Can point to where, past present gloom, Unblemished landscapes lie.
That Heart, responsive to the cry
Of man, and bird, and beast;
Clothes teeming earth. in prompt reply, With one perpetual feast
Then let us raise our glad acclaim
To Him, the Source of Love;
Who evermore shall bide “‘The Same” Though ceaseless cycles move.
