THE UNCEASING MELODY.
Like some pink shell, that will not cease Its murmur of the aea, My heart sings on without release This anthem full and free ; " Thou wilt keep him in pcrject pence Whose mind is stayed on Thee." The music of the melody Has floated down the years, A soul-subduing harmony ; It elevates and cheers, And, like the voice of Deity, It dissipates all fears. Beyond the sounds of earthly strife, Beyond the frown and sigh. Beyond the world with discord rife, It liftd the soul on high. To find a calm and restful life. By faith in Christ brought nigh. There perfect peace surrounds the soul Whose trust on God is stayed, While pressing onward to the goal, It hears, all undismayed. The deep notes of the music roll Through sunlight and through, shade. And this is why, without release. My heart sings full and free The anthem that will never cease Through all Eternity : Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace Whose mind is stayed on Thee"
