“That through patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.” Rom. xv. 4.

“Cofia ddilyn y medelwyr,”

When the sultry sun is beaming
Down upon the harvest field,
Dip thy morsel in the streaming
Fountain at the Cross unsealed.
Glean among the revelations
Of God’s Oracles, and find
In thy gleaning consolations
Competent to calm the mind.

When to mark the publication
Of the Law, Mount Sinai blazed,
And, amazed, the Jewish nation
Gazed, and shuddered as they gazed,
Under Sinai stunned with thunder
Rose an altar solemnly
Shadowing another Wonder
Greater still on Calvary.
