" Man giveth up the ghost, and where is He?" JOB xiv. 10. ( AIR- O mistress mine.)
Where is the trembling spirit going, Its flick'ring taper faintly glowing, Sinking in its socket low? Life, away with Time, is flying, And when man departs in dying,
Where is he, and who can know? Hush'd is soon his mirth and laughter, Tow'rd him while a dread hereafter
Hastes, with noiseless step, but sure; Then to Christ, who will receive usCheer us, when all else shall leave us, Let us fly, and be secure!
" I will open fountains in the midst of the vallies." ISA. xli. 18.
