Where not a cloud ever darkens the sky,-Far, far away, far away. Fadeless the flowers in yon Eden that blow, Green, green the bowers where the still waters flow, Hearts like their garments are pure as the snow-Far, far away, far away. 2 There never trembles a sigh of regret, Stars of the morning in glory ne'er set; There I for ever from sorrow would rest, Leaning with joy on Emmanuel's breast; Tears never flow in the home of the blest. 3 Friends there united in glory ne'er part, One is their temple, their home, and their heart; The river of crystal, the city of gold, The portals of pearl such a glory unfold; [not told.

HIGH AND HOLY-MEEK AND LOWLY. 1 High and ho ly meek and low ly, Bold - ly true, benign -ly mild; # God - head sharing, man-hood wear-ing-Walk'd on earth the Fa-ther's child. Men re- fus'd Him, wrong'd a-bused Him-Tho' He came to seek and save; Earth denied Him, and supplied Him On ly with a cross and grave. 2 Life's great Giver,-Prince for ever, wondered How the mystery would go. and 3 Morning glorious!-forth victorious,— Priest and King on heaven's high By His merit, grace, and Spirit, Gathering Godward all His own! |
