POETRY.

MATIN AND VESPER HYMNS.

Sunday Morning.

God of the morning! Thou, the Sabbath's God!

Round whose bright footsteps thousand

planets play;

A million beings at Thy mighty nod

Are born; Thy frown turns millions more to clay:

How great Thou art! an unimagined deep

Of wisdom and of power;-Thy laws how sure!

Thy way how full of mystery! Thou dost keep

Thy court among the heavens, sublime and pure

And inapproachable; the tir'd eye breaks Ere it can reach Thee: who can fathom Thee?

Who read Thy counsels? Thought exhausted seeks

The path in vain; 'tis o'er the mighty sea,

On the tall mountains,-in the rushing wind

Or the mad tempest. In a cloudy

[blocks in formation]
[blocks in formation]

Sunday Evening.

Welcome the hour of calm repose,
The ev'ning of the Sabbath-day:
In peace my wearied eyes shall close
When I have tuned my vesper lay,
In humble gratitue to Him

Who wak'd the morning's earliest beam.
In such an hour as this how sweet,
In the still solitude of even,
To hold with heaven communion meet,
Meet for a spirit bound to heaven ;
And in this wilderness beneath
Pure zephyrs from above to breathe!
It may be that th' Eternal Mind

Bends sometimes from its throne of

bliss;

Where should we then its presence find

But in an hour so blest as this

An hour of calm tranquillity
Silent, as to welcome Thee?
Yes! if the Great Invisible,

Descending from his seat divine,
May deign upon this earth to dwell;
Where shall he find a welcoming
shrine

But in the heart of man, who bears
His image, and his spirit shares?
Now let the solemn thought pervade

My soul, and let my heart prepare
A throne. Come, veil'd in awful shade,
Thou Spirit of God! that I may dare
Hail Thee, nor like Thy prophet be
Blinded by Thy bright majesty.
Then hold communion, Lord! with
Thee,

And turn my wand'ring thoughts within,

Then, tho' but for a moment, see

Thy image; purified from sin
And earth's pollutions, let me prove,
If not Thy majesty―Thy love.
That love which over all is shed,

Shed on the worthless as the just;
Lighting the stars above our head

And waking beauty out of dust. The farthest comet's path is nought To the vast orbit of His thought. To Him alike the living stream

And the dull regions of the grave; All watch'd, protected all by Him Whose eye can see, whose arm

save

can

In the cold midnight's dang'rous gloom, And the dark prison of the tomb. Thither we hasten-as the sand

Drops in the hour-glass, never still; So, gather'd in by Death's rude hand

The store-house of the grave we fill. And sleep in peace,-as safely kept As when on earth we smil'd or wept.

[blocks in formation]

The flower we rear'd was young and fair, We tended it with ceaseless care,

For in our hearts 'twas planted; A thousand odours round it flew, A thousand buds upon it blew, Buds of the fairest promise too,

And oh, how each enchanted! But winter's wind, and summer's show'r, Will seldom spare so fair a flow'r,

And our belov'd was blighted ;-
To milder climes the flower we bore,
And there it blossom'd as before,
And seem'd as though 'twould fade no
more;-

Oh, how we were delighted!
But once again the death-wind came,
And struck its frail and feeble frame,
By kindness unretarded;
Resign'd to fate, it hung its head,
Ten thousand dying odours shed,
And smil'd, as whispering angels said,
"In heaven thou'lt be rewarded."

TO JOHN WILKS, Esq.

On Reading his admirable Address to the "Protestant Society." (Mon. Repos. XV. 366–369, 434-437, 488-496.) High-gifted WILKS, whose richly-furnish'd mind

For every theme can illustrations find: Whose eloquence, a torrent clear and strong,

Bears in its course, eyes, cars and hearts along!

Pursue thy way-improve the talent given, And plead the cause of liberty and heaven;

Secure of this, however vice prevails, That, soon or late, no honest effort fails. E. B. Sidmouth, September 11, 1820.

That bird of rapine,-in the mountain's Rais'd on devotion's lofty wing,

breast;

[blocks in formation]

O God! each glowing thought we bring,
To celebrate Thy praise;
To-day let care and sorrow cease,
And the blest hopes of future peace
Inspire our sacred lays.

Behold the happy earth rejoice,
Around the world a Saviour's voice

The reign of vice and pain is o'er,
Proclaims the word of love;
Warfare and strife can rage no more,
Nor sin our virtue move.
Ambition droops her tow'ring head,
Revenge and Anger captive led

Now cease to haunt our way;
Pride in the pomp of state array'd,
And vile Oppression's triumphs fade,
And shun the light of day.
Heirs to a world of blissful rest,
By tyrant-sway no more oppress'd,
We seek th' immortal crown;
And bow before the throne of God,
All fearless of the Bigot's rod,

Or Superstition's frown.

Father of heaven and earth! whose eye Broods o'er the vast eternity,

May Thy blest kingdom come; And the sure promise Thou hast given, Shall purify our souls for heaven, And guide our spirits home.

Liverpool, August 8.
