Présentation de l'éditeur

See Title Page.) High oer the hills of mercy, see A blest Redeemer slegacy; A refuge for the trembling soul, When Sinai thunders round him rolj. When raised from the devouring flood The cross, deep stiiined with hallowed blood. And crowned with lights pure living ray, I nviies him to immortal day. God sfearful wrath hes doomed to meet. And quick-sands tremble neath his feet. The barren rocks of sin abound, And gathering blackness folds him round; But love celestial lends her wing% And now high on the mount he sings, While night, and death, and deep ning gloom. Descend to their eternal doom. In the deep vaults of India smine, Beneath old oceans foaming brine. Shines not a gem whose beauty rare Can with the glorious cross compare. Oh! let me bear it; it shall scope The acme of my proudest hope ;Y es, let me bear it, tis a sign Of Spn-ehip in the life divine. Twill soothe my sorrows, calm my fears. And dry the fountain of my tears; Oppressed with grief, in dire dismay, Twill sweetly guide my weary way. Till its awn heaven-bom Ught illume The darkness of the pilgrims tomb. And in the regions of the blest) My spirit finds eternal rest. J. H. J.
