The shrine where Jehovah disdain'd not to reign ; And scatter'd and scorn'd as thy people may be, Our worship, 0 Father! is only r thee.-B RoN.
A PILGR r's HYMN F R STORMY NIGHT. ( Written in the F teenth Century.)
1. LAUDED be thy name r ever,
Thou, of life the guard and giver!­ Thou canst save thy creatures sleeping, Heal the heart long broke by weeping, And all the fury subject keep
Of chafed cloud and angry deep.
God of stillness and of motion,
Of the rainbow and the ocean,
Of the mountain, rock, and river, Glory to thy name r ever!
2. I have seen thy wondrous might
Mid the terrors of this night ;
Thou that slmnberest not, nor sleepest, Bless'd are they thou kindly keepest ! Spirits om the ocean under,
Liquid ame and level thunder,
Need not waken nor alarm them,
All combined, they cannot harm them :-
3. Thine is evening's yellow ray ; Thine is yonder dawning day, That rises om the distant sea, Like breathings of eternity;­ Thine the darkness of the night,
Thine the aming orb of light, Thine are all the gems of even,
God of angels! God of heaven! God of light, that de shall never, Glory to thy name r ever !-lloGG.
