And darkness sends our day.

And man Is dust once more, -
The earth received them a 11,
Embraces rich and poor,
The light goes out buc onoe,
The Tight behind the eyes.
The soul light never fails
To burn end never diee.
And when the lifeless corps

Tbe soul shall still march on.
While tbe orude duet Ilea here.
The light goes out bat once.
Oh, keep it burning bright      . ' •      s
While yet you may my friend,
For swiftly comes the night,
And wben the stern command
Bids you to cross the bar
Your soul's light will not fail
To be your guilding stele,
Guide me, O Thou Great Jehovli,
Pilgrim thru this barren land,
1 am weak, but thou art mighty
Hold me with thy powerful hand,
Bread of heaven.
Feed me till I went no more.
Wben I tread the verge of Jordan,
Bid my anxious fears subside.
Death of death and belt's destruction
Land me safe on Canaan's aide
Song of praise
1 will give thee evermore
