TIE FAMILY BIBLE.
How painfully pleasing the fond recollection
OF Youthful connexions and innocent JOY,
When blest with parental advice and affection,
Surrounded with mercies-with peace from on


high;
still view the chairs of my sire and my mother,
The seats of their offspring as ranged on each


hand;
And that richest of books, that exccll'd every O.


ther,
The Family Biblc, which lay on the stand.
The old fashioned bible, the dear blessed bible,
The family bible which lay on the stand.
That bible, the volume of Gods inspiration,
At morn and at evening would yield us de-


light;
And the prayer of our sire was sweet invocation
For mercy by day, and safety through night.
Our hymns of thanksgiving with harmony swell


ing,


All warm from the hearts of a family band,
Half raised us from earth to that rapturous dwell


ing,


Descrb'd in the bible that lay on the stand.
The old fashioned bible, the dear blessed bible,
The family bible WHICH lay on the stand
Ye scenes Of tranquility, long have we parted,
My hopes almost gone, and my parents no


more;


In sorrow and sadness live broken hearted,
And wander unknown on a far distant shore
Yet how can doubt dear Saviours protection
Forgetful of gifs from his bountiful hand;
Oh let me with patience receive his correction,
And think on the bible that lay on the stand.
The old fashioned bible, the dear blessed bible,
The family bible that lay on the stand.
