A HAPPY LIFE.

By Isaac Deeley

I WOULD not change my happy life For all that gold could ever buy; Free as the sleeping babe from strife, Treasures untold laid up on high.
No thief can e'er break through nor steal No cankering rust can e'er destroy; Securely stamped with Jesus' seal, No moth corrupts my endless joy.
O, that the friends I love so well Could know the bliss which fills my soul! It passes all my powers to tell, Unspoken till I reach the goal.
No pastures green, no murmuring streams, No shady groves, no glade nor glen, No pictures real, no fancied dreams, Can give such peace to sinful men.
The earth with age may pass away, The stars may leave their orbs and fall, The sun may fail to bring the day, His promise shall survive them all. Sylvan Beach, N. Y. ISAAC DEELEY.
