THE JOYS OF PARDON.

Earth has a joy unknown in Heaven— The new-born peace of sin forgiven! Tears of such pure and deep delight, Ye angels! never dimmed your sight.
Ye saw of old on chaos rise The beauteous pillars of the skies: Ye know where morn exulting springs, And evening folds her drooping wings.
Bright heralds of the Eternal Will, Abroad his errand ye fulfill; Or throned in floods of beamy day, Symphonious in his presence play.
Loud is the song—the heavenly plain Is shaken with the choral strain— And dying echoes, floating far, Draw music from each chiming star.
But I amid your choir shall shine, And all your knowledge shall be mine: Ye on your harps shall lean to hear A secret chord that mine will bear.
