Saviour's reign; Nor sin, with pestilential breath, His holy realm profane; 4 The land where, suns and moons unknown, And night's alternate sway, Jehovah's ever-burning throne Upholds unbroken day; 5 Where they who meet shall never part; Where grace achieves its plan; And God, uniting every heart, Dwells face to face with man. 341. L. M. E. Taylor. "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God." 1 "Thus shalt thou love the Almighty Lord, With all thy heart, and soul, and mind:" So speaks to man that sacred word, For counsel and reproof designed. 2 "With all thy heart;" no idol thing, Though close around the heart it twine, Its interposing shade must fling, To darken that pure love of thine. 3 "With all thy mind;" each varied power, Creative fancy, musings high, And thoughts that glance behind, before, These must religion sanctify. 4 "With soul and strength;" thy days of ease, While vigor nerves each youthful limb, And hope and joy, and health and peace, All must be freely brought to him. 342.
