e profound
Which his unfettered soul enjoys.

4 Farewell, conflicting hopes and fears,
Where lights and shades alternate dwell!
How bright the unchanging morn appears!
Farewell, inconstant world, farewell!

5 Life's duty done, as sinks the clay,
Light from its load the spirit flies;
While guardian angels gently say,
"How blest the righteous when he dies!"

351. S. M. *Mrs. Howitt.

He is Risen.

1 O spirit, freed from earth,
Rejoice, thy work is done!
The weary world's beneath thy feet,
Thou brighter than the sun!

2 Arise, put on the robes
That the redeemed win;
Now sorrow hath no part in thee,
Thou sanctified within!

3 Awake, and breathe the air
Of the celestial clime!
Awake to love which knows no change,
Thou who hast done with time!

4 Awake, lift up thine eyes!
See, all heaven's host appears!
And be thou glad exceedingly,--
Thou, who hast done with tears.

5 Ascend! thou art not now
With those of mortal birth;
The living God hath touched thy lips,
Thou who hast done with earth!

352. S. M. Gaskell.

No More!

1 "No more, on earth no more,
Shall beam for us that eye;
Closed in a strange forgetfulness
Forever it must lie.

2 "No more, on earth no more,
Shall we behold that face;
Within the mournful halls of death
Must be its dwelling-place.

3 "No more, on earth no more,
Shall those dear lips be heard;
Cold silence there hath fixed its seal,
Breathed is their latest word."

4 'Tis so fond Nature mourns
Affection's broken ties;
But Faith stands forth, she points on high,
Serenely she replies:--

5 "No more, in heaven no more,
That eye is dim with tears;
But bright, and brighter still, the scene
Before its view appears.

6 "No more, in heaven no more,
That face a shadow bears;
But looks of light, born of a bliss
Unknown to earth, it wears.

7 "No more, in heaven no more,
That voice is faint with pain;
It mingles with angelic bands,
In their enraptured strain.

8 "No more, in heaven no more,
The parting grief is known;
