Like Childhood's simple rhymes, Said o'er a thousand times, Go thro' all years and climes The heart to cheer. Ma-ny a happy thing, Ma-ny a daisy spring Float o'er time's ceaseless wing, Far, far a way. What though the flesh decay, Souls pass in peace away, Live through e-ter - nal day With Christ above.

PILGRIM'S SONG.

HENRY WELLS.

GIRLS.

[graphic]

1. Whither, pilgrims,are you going, Each with staff in hand? We are going on a journey,At the king's command; 2. Fear ye not the way so lonely, You,a feeble band? No,for friends unseen are near us,Angels round us stand:

CHORUS.

Over plains, and hills,and valleys, We are going to his palace, We are going to his palace, In the better land. Christ our leader walks beside us, He will guard,and He will guide us, To the better land. He will guard, and He will guide us,

8. Tell me, pilgrims, what you hope for,
In the better land?
Spotless robes and crowns of glory,
From a Saviour's hand;

We shall drink of life s clear river,
We shall dwell with God forever,
We shall dwell with God forever,
In the better land.

4. Will you let me travel with you,
To the better land?

Come away, we bid you welcome,
To our little band.

Come, O come! we cannot leave you,
Christ is waiting to receive you,

Christ is waiting to receive you,

In the better land.

Saviour, So glorious and so bright, I'd wake the sweetest music, And praise him day and night.

2 I never should be weary,

Nor ever shed a tear,

Nor ever know a sorrow,
Nor ever feel a fear;
But blessed, pure, and holy,

I'd dwell in Jesus' sight,
And with ten thousand thousands
Praise him both day and night.

3 I know I'm weak and sinful,
But Jesus will forgive;
For many little children'

Have gone to heaven to live.

Dear Saviour, when I languish,
And lay me down to die,
O, send a shining angel

To bear me to the sky.
4 0, there I'll be an angel,
And with the angels stand,
A crown upon my forehead,
A harp within my hand;
And there before my Saviour,
So glorious and so bright,
I'll join the heavenly music,
And praise him day and night.

REST FOR THE WEARY.

J. W. D.

1. In the Christian's home in glory, There remains a land of rest, There my Saviour's gone before me,

CHORUS.

To fulfil my soul's request; There is rest for the weary, There is rest for the weary,

2 He is fitting up my mansion,
Which eternally shall stand,

For my stay shall not be transient
In that holy, happy land.
There is rest, &c.

3 Pain nor sickness ne'er shall enter, Grief nor woe my lot shall share; But in that celestial centre,

I a crown of life shall wear.
There is rest, &c.

4 Death itself shall then be vanquished,
And his sting shall be withdrawn;
Shout for gladness, O ye ransomed,
Hail with joy the rising morn.
There is rest, &c.

5 Sing, O sing, ye heirs of glory:
Shout your triumph as you go;
Zion's gates will open for you,
You shall find an entrance through.
There is rest, &c.

There is rest for the weary, There is rest for

Temperance Hymn.

1 O'er the dark abodes of sorrow,
Cheered by no reviving ray,
Brightly temperance arising,
Brings a bright and glorious day.

Chorus. There is hope for the fallen,
There is hope for the fallen,
There is hope for the fallen,
There is hope for all.

2 Thousands, long in bondage groaning,
Hail the bright and glorious light;

See, from eastern coast to western,
Quickly fly the shades of night.

8 May the heart-reviving story,

Win and conquer-never cease-
May the ranks of temperance ever
Multiply and still increase.

4 Now the trump of temperance sounding,
Rouse! ye freemen! why delay ?
Let your voices, all resounding,
Welcome on the happy day.
