11. lappuse - I WOULD not live alway : I ask not to stay Where storm after storm rises dark o'er the way ; The few lurid mornings that dawn on us here, Are enough for life's woes, full enough for its cheer. 2 I would not live alway...
14. lappuse - Sunset. 1 THE mellow eve is gliding Serenely down the west ; So, every care subsiding, My soul would sink to rest. 2 The woodland hum is ringing The daylight's gentle close ; May angels round me singing Thus hymn my last repose. 3 The evening star has lighted Her crystal lamp on high ; So, when in death benighted, May hope illume the sky..
11. lappuse - Where seeking for rest we but hover around, Like the patriarch's bird, and no resting is found; Where Hope when she paints her gay bow in the air, Leaves its brilliance to fade in the night of despair, And joy's fleeting angel ne'er sheds a glad ray, Save the gleam of the plumage that bears him away. I would not live alway...
12. lappuse - If night's blue curtain of the sky, With thousand stars inwrought, Hung like a royal canopy, With glittering diamonds fraught, Be, Lord, Thy temple's outer veil...
12. lappuse - The dazzling sun, at noontide hour, Forth from his flaming vase, Flinging o'er earth the golden shower, Till vale and mountain blaze, But shows, O Lord ! one beam of Thine : What, then, the day where Thou dost shine...
21. lappuse - I WILL give thanks unto the Lord with my whole heart : secretly among the faithful, and in the congregation.
11. lappuse - I'll not linger when bidden to go. The days of our pilgrimage granted us here Are enough for life's woes, full enough for its cheer. Would I shrink from the path which the prophets of God, Apostles and Martyrs, so joyfully trod ! While brethren and friends are all hastening home, Like a spirit unblest o'er the earth would I roam ?
14. lappuse - ... soul would sink to rest. 2 The woodland hum is ringing The daylight's gentle close ; May angels round me singing Thus hymn my last repose. 3 The evening star has lighted Her crystal lamp on high ; So when in death benighted May hope illume the sky. 4 In golden splendor dawning, The morrow's light shall break ; Oh ! on the last bright morning May I in glory wake.
29. lappuse - Oh, lift up thine eyes, look around thee and see How thy children are gathering together to thee ; Like doves on the wing, flying home to be blest At thine altar with peace, in thy bosom with rest.
36. lappuse - Tuned by Thee in sweet accord. All shall sing their gracious Lord ; Love, the leader of the choir, Breathing round her seraph fire.
