THE MERCY SEAT.

By John Greenleaf Whittier

FOREVER round the mercy seat The guiding lights of love shall burn; But what if, habit-bound, thy feet Shall lack the will to turn? Oh, doom beyond the saddest guess, As the long years of God unroll, To make the dreary selfishness The prison of the soul! —John Greenleaf Whittier.
