Fresh from the fount OF feeling PerciOGl,


For the Columbian Fountain.


LIVE TO PURPOSE.
Live 10 purpose great the task,


Which on earth we have to do;
How can 1.-THE question ask


"Life's grand object best pursueW
Live to purpose time is short,


In the which we have to act;
There is here no space for sport


GoD will every hour exact.


Live 10 purpose; presently,


Vast eternity begins;


IT'S a dread reality


Every uher surely sins.


Live to purpose; all depends,


On probation's privilege;
When this golden season ends,


We must meet the righteous Judge.
Live 10 purpose; not alone,


Does our own salvation rest


oH tlllS SlouHb, uuL iiaiy q ohC


BY our action may be blest.


Live to purpose; 0 my soul! .


Trust in Gop and courage take;
Let His grace thy powers control,


In His name new conquests make
Live TO purpose then when death,


Overtake thee on thy way;


Yield to CHRIST thy parting breath,


Rise with Him, and soar away.
Live to purpose, then, again;


Live forever, soul made free;


Live, and sing the angelic strain,


Live, to all eternity.
