LINES

By C. P. A. W.

Written from selections from the Psalms, and dedicated to the brethren and sisters of North Dartmouth, Mass.
BOUNTIFULLY with thee the Lord hath dealt; Unto thy rest return. For joys, removed from thee, my soul, No more so sadly yearn.
Merciful kindness o'errules all, All storms and calms the same; No way so dark but light may come To make the right grow plain.
Oh! may we with each dawning day As one the Lord hath made— Thus recognize all from Him Why need we be afraid?
He will not utterly forsake, Though oft we feel alone— Like strangers wandering o'er the earth— Yet, still He guards His own.
Rich mercy fills the very earth, His judgments all are right; In faithfulness He doth afflict— The darkness leads to light.
Are we not his? Will he not save? His promises are sweet; His word a light unto our path, A lamp unto our feet.
A hiding place we find in Him, A sure, protecting shield, Salvation freely granted all, And endless love revealed.
C. P. A. W.
New Bedford, Mass.
