THE BOOK OF THE HEART.
WRITTEN IN A YOUNG LADY'S ALBUM.
Thy MIND is an ALBUM, unsullied and bright,
Just opened—for angels and spirits to write
Each thought and affection, intent and desire,
That wisdom may sanction—that love may inspire.
Just opened—for angels and spirits to write
Each thought and affection, intent and desire,
That wisdom may sanction—that love may inspire.
The book is immortal—Oh guard it with care,
Lest demons should sully its pages so fair;
Repulse such intruders, nor shrink from the strife,
And Jesus will smile on the “Book of thy life.”
Lest demons should sully its pages so fair;
Repulse such intruders, nor shrink from the strife,
And Jesus will smile on the “Book of thy life.”
