ET a few years, or days perhaps, Or moments, pass in silent lapse, And time to me shall be no more; No more the sun these eyes shall view; Earth o'er these limbs her dust shall strew; And life's fantastic dream be o'er. 2 Alas, I touch the dreadful brink ; From nature's verge impell'd, I sink! And gloomy darkness wraps me round! Yes!-Death is ever at my hand, Fast by my bed he takes his stand, And constant at my board is found! 3 But then, this spark that warms, that guides, That lives, that thinks-what fate betides? Can this be dust?—a kneaded clod!This yield to death! the soul, the mind, That measures heaven, and mounts the wind, That knows at once itself and God! 4 Great Cause of all, above, below,- 5 [Transporting thought!- but am I sure Rejoicing in Christ's Government. 310.

The mansion of the dead; And thence his mighty foes Up through the sky the Conqueror rode, The Name of Jesus precious. PART II. Finsbury Chapel 489. 1 LET earth and heav'n agree, To celebrate with me The Saviour of mankind! T'adore the great atoning Lamb, And bless the sound of Jesu's name. 2 Jesus! transporting sound! No other name is giv'n, By which we can salvation have; 3 Jesus! harmonious name! It charms the hosts above; And wonder at his love: 4 His name the sinner hears, "Tis life and victory: New songs do now his lips employ, The Gospel Trumpet.- 312. Silver St. Chapel 86. Mabledon 482.
