Lead Me To the Rock That Is Higher Than I.

—Sixty-first Psalm, 2d verse.

BY FANNIE.

Ob, Father! when cloudsgrow dark oversea , And the world aeema friendless and drear; When friends that I cherished and lov< d havo flrtd To othera that fairer appear— Oh amile through the olouda from Thy home in the ► ky, And Lead to the Book that ia Higher than I. hangs o’er like a oanopy And thorns Rtrew the pathway of life; When dark rolling wave* ’most shatter the bark With heaving, tnmultnons strife— Safe guide me through all with Thy kind watohlng eye, And Lead to the Book that is Higher than I. And oh, when the swift-winged messenger oomes To bear me from sorrow away, May my soul in peaoe asoend to its home. Deprived of its tenement olay, To the land of pure bliss, beyond the bright sky, And rest on the Book that is Higher than I, Lewistown, Pa., 185 G.
