PASSING PLEASURES, These blessed, passing plesaltres! We need not let them waste, We need not leave their treasures

Behind us in our haste. We need not doubt their fitness

Where earth's deep shadows fall God giving, He is wittiess

That we shall want them all.

Amid the old end story

Of human shame and sin,

If He given gleams of glory... We ought to let them in, And oh, when brought before us Where heart and soul pan see, How nighty to restore us

Love's little sigus may be !

A bird, a trás, ä flower,

orantuire just as frail, Will take us in Els power

To Him within the veil; Will come, if He has biddeo,

Amidst the darkening fight, And leave us safely hidden

Behind a shield of light. Perhaps His augels are us Disquieted in vaiĘ ; --- Perhaps His watch would free us From sons ensuaring pain;

Bat only, He cau tuensure

Who sees our naturo through

The good that in His pleasure

A passing joy my do.

If but for one bright minute

Through gathering cloud it break, There is a token in ufq

That He would have us take. And His leant sign obeying,

No wealth our hearts shall mias, Even when we hear His saying

Sae greater things than this!

For He the full var gaining,

Meeting the dim weak sight,

Our faith is gently training

To bear the perfect light.

And while His mercies guide ns,

We in one sure belief

May trist the joy beside us

Even as we trust the grief.
