Blest book, to my heart ever dear,Thou shield of the spirit, when sorrow is near;Though the pleasures may fade which from earth we receive,The joys of thy giving, forever shall live. The heart of sweet childhood, thy pleasures may prove,Like flowers of beauty in gardens of love;But earths brightest flowers must all meet decay,While religion shall bloom in eternitys day.
