HEAVENLY GRACE.

By H. A. Fuller

I would not sing in empty song The praises of the gay or fair, To dwell on these would be to wrong The heavenly graces far more rare.

No, I would touch another string, A purer, nobler, strain than this, Like those glad themes the angels sing On harps of gold in realms of bliss.

The story of good actions wrought, Not for the joy the doers feel, But sacrifices God has taught Should be endured for other's weal—

To those who thus resign their ease, That others happier may be, Christ says, “As ye have done to these, So have ye done it unto me.”
