light.

1 I love to steal awhile away

From every cumb'ring care, And spend the hours of setting day, In humble, grateful prayer.

2 I love in solitude to shed

The penitential tear,
And all His promises to plead,
Where none but God can hear

3 I love to think on mercies past,
And future good implore,
And all my cares and sorrows cast
On him whom I adore.

4 I love by faith to take a view,

Of brighter scenes in heav'n; The prospect doth my strength re

new,

While here by tempests driv'n,

5 Thus, when life's toilsome day is o'er, May its departing ray Be calm as this impressive hour,

And lead to endless day.

395. Distribution of Tracts. 1 0! bless the silent heralds Lord, Attend them on their way;

396. Scriptural teaching of the Young.

1 How shall the young secure their hearts,

And guard their lives from sin? Thy word the choicest rules imparts To keep the conscience clean.

2 When once it enters to the mind,

It spreads such light abroad,
The meanest souls instruction find,
And raise their thoughts to God.

3 'Tis like the sun, a heavenly light
That guides us all the day;
And thro' the dangers of the night,
A lamp to lead our way.

4 Thy word is everlasting truth;
How pure is every page!

Let multitudes obey.

And well support our age.
