VI.

From this little story let people beware, Because, like the wasp, if ill-natured they

are,

They will never be lov'd, if they're ever so fair.

HYMN.

1.

Thy name, Messiah, grateful sounds
To every Christian's ear!

It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds,
And drives away his fears.

11.

O heavenly Shepherd, Father, Friend,
Our Prophet, Priest, and King!
Our Lord, our Life, our Way, our End,
Accept the praise we bring.

Weak is the effort of the heart,
And cold our warmest thought;
But when we know Thee as Thou art,
We'll praise Thee as we ought.

IV.

Till then, we would Thy love proclaim
With every fleeting breath;

And may Thy all-prevailing name,
Support our souls in death.

HYMN.

1.

Lord, when we creation scan,

What Thy power has done for man;
Lord, our conscious tongues agree,
How much man must owe to Thee.

II.

Ev'ry note that cheers the vale,
Ev'ry sweet that scents the gale,
Ev'ry blooming flower we see,
Tells that joy we owe to Thee.

III.

Ev'ry breath that heaves the breast,
Ev'ry sound by voice express'd,
Ev'ry thought the mind sets free,
Tells that life we owe to Thee.

IV.

But when we redemption view,
Gaze on what Thy love could do,
Lord, our grateful hearts agree,
How much more we owe to Thee.

A QUESTION.

IF two persons go to bed at the same hour every night, and one of them rises at six and the other at eight every morning, how much time will the former have gained in forty years?
