A Handful of Corn. Ps. lxii, 16.

SCATTER the corn o'er broken ground, When suns and dews are free, And ere a few brief moons are told, Look! what the change shall be, The lofty stalk, the tassl'd crown, The sheaves like gold that glow, And bread for man, and food for beast, Up from those kernels grow.
Scatter good thoughts on pages pure, With prayer and humble trust, And though they fail to germinate Till thou art laid in dust, Yet may it be thy lot to meet, When earth away hath fled, Glad souls before the Saviour's seat, Who on their fruits have fed.
