YES! 'tis a rough and thorny road,
Which leads us to the saints' abode;
But when our Father's house we gain,
"Twill make amends for all our pain.
And what is all we suffer now,
Or all we can endure below,

L. M.

To that bright day when Christ shall come,
And take his weary pilgrims home!

MOSCOW.

P. M. (8-7-4.)

YES, we trust the day is breaking,
Joyful times are near at hand,
God, the mighty God is speaking
By his word in every land :
Mark his progress-
Darkness flies at his command.

While the foe becomes more daring,
While he enters like a flood,
God, the Saviour, is preparing,
Means to spread his truth abroad:

Every language

Soon shall tell the love of God.

God of Jacob, high and glorious,
Let thy people see thy hand;
Make the gospel soon victorious,
Through the world in every land:
Perish idols-

Perish, Lord, at thy command!

DISMISSION.

MAY the grace of Christ our Saviour,
And the Father's boundless love,

With the Holy Spirit's favor,
Rest upon us from above.
Thus may we abide in union,

With each other and the Lord;
And possess, in sweet communion,
Joys which earth cannot afford.

P. M.
