How Readest Thou?"

It is one thing to read the Bible through,

Another thing to read to learn and do.

Some read it with design to learn to read,

But to the subject pay but little heed.

Some read it as their duty once a week,

But no instruction from the Bible seek;

While others. read it with but little care,

With no regard to how they read, nor where.

Some read to bring themselves into repute,

By showing others how they can dispute;

While others read because their neighbors do,

To see how long 'twill take to read it through.

Some read it for the wonders that are there,

How David killed a lion and a bear;

While others read it with uncommon care,

Hoping to find some contradictions there.

Some read as if it did not speak to them,

But to the people at Jerusalem.

One reads with father's specs upon his head,

And sees the thing just as his father said.

Some read to prove a pre-adopted creed,

Hence understand but little that they read;

For every passage in the book they bend

To make it suit that all-important end.

Some people read, as I have often thought,

To teach the book instead of being taught;

And some there are who read it out of spite.

I fear there are but few who read it right.

But read it prayerfully, and you will see,

Although men contradict, God's words agree;

For what the early Bible prophets wrote,

We find that Christ and His apostles quote.

So trust no creed that trembles to recall

What has been penned by one and verified by all.

And works His sovereign will.

Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take;

The clouds ye so much dread

Are big with mercy, and shall break

In blessings o'er your head.

Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,

But trust Him for His grace;

Behind a frowning providence

He hides a smiling face.

Blind unbelief is sure to err,

And scan His work in vain;

God is His own interpreter,

And He will make it plain.

It streams from the hills, it descends to the plain,

And sweetly distils in the dew and the rain.

Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail;

In Thee do we trust, nor find Thee to fail;

Thy mercies, bow tender! how firm to the end!

Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend!

The Word descends and dwells in clay,

That He may converse hold with worms,

Dressed in such feeble flesh as they.

Whom none can comprehend and none explore; Who fill'st existence with Thyself alone,

Embracing all, supporting, ruling o'er;

Being whom we call God, and know no more!

Thou from primeval nothingness didst call

First chaos, then existence; Lord, on Thee

Eternity hath its foundation; all

Sprung forth from Thee, of light, joy, harmony,

Sole origin,- all life, ail beauty Thine;

Thy word created all, and doth create;

Thy splendor fills all space with rays divine;

Thou art and wert and shalt be! Glorious! Great!

Light-giving, life-sustaining Potentate!

God moves in a mysterious way

His wonders to perform;

He plants His footsteps in the sea

And rides upon the storm.

Deep in unfathomable mines

Oh never-failing skill,

He treasures up His bright designs,

And works His sovereign will.

Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take;

The clouds ye so much dread

Are big with mercy, and shall break

In blessings o'er your head.

Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,

But trust Him for His grace;

Behind a frowning providence

He hides a smiling face.

Blind unbelief is sure to err,

And scan His work in vain;

God is His own interpreter,

And He will make it plain.

Whose robe is the light• whose canopy, space;

And dark is His path on the wings of the storm.

It breathes in the air, it shines in the light;

It streams from the hills, it descends to the plain,

And sweetly distils in the dew and the rain.

Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail;

In Thee do we trust, nor find Thee to fail;

Thy mercies, bow tender! how firm to the end!

Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend!

There is mercy with the Saviour;

There is healing in His blood.

For the Jove of God is broader

Than the measure of man's mind,

And the heart of the Eternal

Is most wonderfully kind.

If our love were but more simple,

We should take Him at His word;

And our lives would be all sunshine

In the sweetness of our Lord.

And must divinely be adored.

He led the host of morning stars;

His generation who can tell,

Or count the number of His years?

But lo! He leaves those heavenly forms;

The Word descends and dwells in clay,

That He may converse hold with worms,

Dressed in such feeble flesh as they.
