immortal, to appear with Him when He shall appear in his glory.

But little does that wicked man,
In his angry madness, know,
That God himself will take account
Of each cruel word and blow.]
LITTLE EVA SONG.
UNCLE TOM'S GUARDIAN ANGEL.
WORDS BY JOHN G. WHITTIER . . . . MUSIC BY MANUEL EMILIO.
[Illustration: Music]
Dry the tears for holy Eva!
With the blessed angels leave her;
Of the form so sweet and fair,
Give to earth the tender care.
For the golden locks of Eva,
Let the sunny south land give her
Flow'ry pillow of repose,
Orange bloom and budding rose,
Orange bloom and budding rose.
All is light and peace with Eva;
There the darkness cometh never;
Tears are wiped, and fetters fall,
And the Lord is all in all.
Weep no more for happy Eva;
Wrong and sin no more shall grieve her,
Care, and pain, and weariness,
Lost in love so measureless!
Gentle Eva, loving Eva,
Child confessor, true believer,
Listener at the Master's knee,
"Suffer such to come to me."
O for faith like thine, sweet Eva,
Lighting all the solemn river,
And the blessing of the poor,
Wafting to the heavenly shore.
