"Do good :" let little acts of love

Our daily lives adorn:

They are the gems in diadems
By saints in heaven worn.

A cheerful smile, a pleasant word,
Are flowers beside the tide

Of toil and care, and each may bear
Its sweetness far and wide.

"Do good." It needs not wealth nor rank,
Nor talents great for this:

All who have proved how Jesus loved

Will seek their brother's bliss.

"The Lord is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation."-Exodus xv. 2.

O, why should worldly people think

Religion pleasure's foe;

That when a Christian's brow is sad
Religion makes it so!

They know not that a Christian's eye

Can in the gospel see
A promise for the life which is,
And that which is to be;

That when a shade of grief or fear
Upon his face is seen,

"Tis not his faith that casts it there,
But clouds that come between.

O, only let them take the Lord
To be their "strength and song,"
And they shall find how grievously
They did religion wrong.

"SEEK PEACE AND PURSUE IT."-Psalm xxxiv. 14.
