A human face divine.
Keep pure thy thoughts by trust in God, And, when in trouble's sea, Look thou for strength to brave the storm, Upon thy bended knee. Then lift thy head with fearless front, For come whatever may, Thou'lt gather strength to brave it well, Thro' ev'ry passing day. Keep pure thy heart, oh, keep it pure, And thou wilt bless the hour, When thou withstood temptation's siege, And bridl'd passion's pow'r. * * * * * FAREWELL. Farewell! and know, where'er I roam, My heart still turns to thee, From spacious halls, or trackless woods, Or on the foaming sea. Farewell, my friend! oh, could I say, My love, my own, to you, My outlook on this dreary world Would have a brighter hue. |
