A YEARLY HYMN FOR CHARITY CHILDREN.

Again the kind revolving year
Has brought this happy day,
And we in God's blest house appear,
Again our vows to pay.
Our watchful guardians, robed in light,
Adore the heavenly King;
Ten thousand thousand seraphs bright
Incessant praises sing.
They know no want, they feel no care,
Nor ever sigh as we;
Sorrow and sin are strangers there,
And all is harmony.
If aught can there enhance their bliss,
Or raise their raptures higher,
New joys in heaven, at sights like this,
New anthems fill the choir.
With what resembling care and love
Both worlds for us appear!
Our friendly guardians, those above;
Our benefactors here.
