ETERNITY.

2 The parent finds his long-lost child;
Brothers on brothers gaze:
The tear of resignation mild

Is chang'd to joy and praise.
3 Each tender tie, dissolv'd with pain,
With endless bliss is crown'd:
All that was dead revives again,
All that was lost is found.

4 And while remembrance, ling'ring still,
Draws joy from sorrowing hours,
New prospects rise, new pleasures fill
The soul's expanding pow'rs.

5 Congenial minds, array'd in light,
High thoughts shall interchange;
Nor cease, with ever-new delight,
On wings of love to range.

6 Their Father marks the gen'rous flame,
And looks complacent down,

The smile, that owns their filial claim,
Is their immortal crown.

Reunion in heaven.

P. M. 6s & 5s.

WHEN shall we meet again?—

Meet ne'er to sever?

When will peace wreath her chain
Round us for ever?

Our hearts will ne'er repose

Safe from each blast that blows
In this dark vale of woes-
Never-no, never!

2 When shall love freely flow
Pure as life's river?

When shall sweet friendship glow
Changeless for ever?

Where joys celestial thrill,

Where bliss each heart shall fill,

And fears of parting chill

Never-no, never!

3 Up to that world of light
Take us, dear Savior;
May we all there unite,
Happy for ever:

Where kindred spirits dwell,
There may our music swell,
And time our joys dispel
Never--no, never!

4 Soon shall we meet again-
Meet ne'er to sever;

Soon will peace wreath her chain
Round us for ever:
Our hearts will then repose
Secure from worldly woes:
Our songs of praise shall close
Never-no, never!
