"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things, whatsoever I have commanded you: and lo! I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen."

Matt. xxviii. 19, 20.

YE sacred Heralds of the Lord!
Go, at your Master's high command,
And bear the blessings of his word,
To every distant heathen land.

To rescue man from endless woe,
JESUS descended from above,
And, veil'd in mortal flesh below,
Paid the rich price of saving love.

While wandering through this vale of tears,
He had not where to lay his head,
Deep sorrow mark'd his passing years,
For man he fasted, pray'd and bled.

See, a long train of Adam's race,

Deep plung'd in guilt, and stain'd with blood,
Remov'd beyond the sounds of grace,

Are strangers to a pardoning GOD.

Then, in the great REDEEMER's name,
Go forth, to nature's utmost end,
His truth to every realm proclaim,
And call the nations to attend.

Declare to earth's remotest bound,
Glad tidings from the KING of Kings,
Let every region catch the sound,
And angels strike their golden strings.

Teach the poor penitent to flee
For safety, where salvation lies;
Bid him lift up his eyes, and see

The SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS arise,

Then shall the wise, though distant fár
From Zion's sacred temple gate,
O'er Bethlehem view the wond'rous STAR,
And worship at EMMANUEL's feet.

An absent God.

For a small moment have I forsaken thee.

THE shades of death surround my soul,
While conscious of an absent God,
And slow the burden'd minutes roll,
Beneath the terrors of his rod.
Where shall I fly, thou dreadful God!
Thy cheering beams of light withdrawn ;
Where find my soul his blest abode,
When will this night of death be gone?
Eager thro' this vain world I look,

To empty scenes of mirth and joy;
Or take with trembling hope thy book,
But all in vain my soul employ.
For me the promise bears no part,

Friends, profits, honors, pleasures, care,
All, all are empty as my heart,

Nor light, nor peace, nor joy are there. And e'en where once thou deign'd'st to mect, The meanest object of thy love, No answers my petitions greet,

My prayers no welcome smiles approve. Bereft of God, each star and tree,

That glow'd and bloom'd with form divine,
Birds, insects, once all fraught with thee,
No more with God in beauty shine.
Emmanuel's name, that glorious theme,
That once each sacred passion fir'd;
That rais'd the heart to love supreme,
And left unfelt no good desir'd;

Now breaks upon an ear unstrung;
Drunk up of sacred joy each stream,
The fountain seal'd, and parch'd the tongue,
And hope departed as a dream.

Lost the refreshing views of heav'n,
Of life in Jesus all the charms,
Of peace with God and sins forgiv❜n,
God absent is a God in arms.

Dark are thy ways, dread King of saints;
But awful as thy chastenings are;
Tho' heart desponds, and spirit faints,
Yet mercy still delays despair.
O, ye, who prevalent in pray'r,

Enjoy his presence, plead for me,
To God thy God this spirit bear,

Blest once with faith, hope, joy, like thee.
