GO DIAL! measure of our years,
Measure of earthly hopes and fears;
And, in Thy friendly purpose bold,
Thy plain and artless tale unfold.
In Thee no subtlety we see;

Clear is the truth that speaks in Thee;
Truth, such as may at once impart
Conviction to the guileless heart.

To each, Thy various office lend:
REMEMB'RER, MONITOR, and FRIEND.
Let past experience serve, to guide
The present moments as they glide;

And point them to that future goal,

Where Heaven may take the passing soul.

Though plain and simple be Thy guise,
Let none Thy simpleness despise ;
But bid them know, if us'd aright,
That simpleness is match'd with might.
For Thine the power, to redeem

Time vanish'd as the vanish'd dream;
Thine is the blessed pow'r, to close
In endless bliss a life of woes;

And Thine the pow'r, when life's deceit
Too far hath urged her fatal cheat,

To snatch from ruin on the brink,

AND TEACH A THOUGHTLESS WORLD TO

THINK.
