MY MOTHER'S BIBLE.

By D. A. Murphy

My mother's Book! My Shepherd's crook, Volume with love replete; Its study yields, Like harvest fields, The finest of the wheat!
My mother's faith! Whate'er it saith Shall earth nor hell defeat; Its seed will keep; Who sows shall reap The finest of the wheat!
My mother's stay! Strength for each day, Links of a chain complete; No rust receives— All precious sheaves, The finest of the wheat!
My mother's hope! Faith's telescope— What visions so entreat? On ev'ry plain Waves golden grain, The finest of the wheat!
My mother's rest! Its pages prest By flowers rare and sweet; All seekers find, With joy they bind The finest of the wheat!
My mother's love! Angels above And saints below shall meet; Where Christ shall come To harvest home The finest of the wheat!
O matchless Book! Our Shepherd's crook— His throne, the mercy-seat; There gleam and laugh, Truth free from chaff, The finest of the wheat!
—D. A. Murphy.
