SONG.
♦ Hark 1 how the air is ringing, Such joy is spring-time bringing To happy birdß, whoße singing Puts our cold hearts to ihame. To all around they're telling Tbe happiness that's •welling Their tiny breasts, aad welling Thus forth in joyful long. God's creatures— they are pr»in«§; Their Maker, and upraising Sweet notes that need no phrasing, To make their gladness knowa. God'a children— we, lure reason To praise Him in each seMon, Our dumbness is a trt&son Against our Heavenly King. Rich blessings He is poOiia»T Upon us. And, adoring Our voices, should be soariU f To Him in songs of love. If we have hope before us, Of joining in tbe chorus Of saints and tngels o'er v* Who sing with joy Hit praiM* If, in the songs asoending, Through ages never ending, Our voices shall be blending, We ovqht to practice now. -BJJ, Foxton.
