"PRAY WITHOUT CEASING."

1 Thess. v, 17.

Pray—for the year is ending, The last thou e'er may'st see; And the life thou wouldn't be mendin', May he never more to be.
Pray—the New Year will open With hopes that must deceive; And many a heart be broken, That's now too proud to grieve.
Pray—for the tempter trieth The wiles that failed before: In every path there lieth The last year's snare, and more.
Pray—for death's poisonous arrows, Are flying thick and fast; And this year's coming sorrows, May be greater than the last.
Pray—for the dark wave's nighing, That overwhelms the whole; And Winter winds are sighing, A requiem for thy soul.
Pray—now the Saviour's waiting To show thy sins forgiven; And the Holy Ghost entreating To seal thee heir of heaven.
[Am. Messenger.
