DAILY COMMUNION.

Dost thou, my child, an hour allot, On each returning day, In which, to some sequestered spot, You steal away to pray? Oh! if thou hast such hallowed place, Such hallowed hour for prayer, Thy heart hath ever testified That Jesus meets thee there.
A holy calmness spreads around As you approach the place; And objects all, of sight or sound, Are made the means of grace. Angelic strains of spirits sweet Seem trembling all, in the air, And every spirit testifies That Jesus meets thee there.
Is sorrow on thy youthful heart? Is sickness in thy frame? As low you kneel, and claim your part In Him who felt the same, So soft and soothing is the balm That falls on pain and care, Thy grateful spirit testifies That Jesus meets thee there.
That secret place and certain time, To thee, my child, were given, To bear thee up on wings sublime, Away from earth to Heaven, Though memory's page of time or space No mark or token bear, Still true to that, 't will testify That Jesus meets thee there. —Anon.
