MY MOTHER'S HYMN.

LIKE patient saint of olden time, With lovely face almost divine, So good, so beautiful and fair, Her very attitude a prayer; I heard her sing so low and sweet, "His loving-kindness—oh how great!" Turning, beheld the saintly face, So full of trust and patient grace.
"He justly claims a song from me, His loving-kindness—oh how free!" Sweetly thus did run the song, "His loving-kindness," all day long; Trusting and praising, day by day, She sang the sweetest roundelay, "He near my soul hath always stood, His loving-kindness—oh how good!"
"He safely leads my soul along, His loving-kindness—oh how strong!" So strong to lead her on the way To that eternal, better day, Where, safe at last in that blest home, All care and weariness are gone, She'll "sing with rapture and surprise His loving-kindness in the skies." —Sel.
