RETIREMENT.
Come, escape from the tempests of life, From the world to the desert retire; Quit this region of tumult and strife, To rekindle the heavenly fire.
Poor pilgrim! thy strength must be sought In the heart-breathing accents of prayer; In public the battle be fought, But in secret thy weapons prepare.
Oh, rest from thy labors awhile; Go alone, on the mount, with thy Lord; Go bask in the beam of his smile, And feed on the wealth of his Word.
