ALMIGHTY GOD!
CHORUS OF PRIESTS.
The Palm-tree's heavenly branch we twine ,
(Emblem of Life's eternal ray,
And Love that “fadeth not away,”)
We bless the flowers, expanded all ,
We bless the leaves that never fall,
And trembling say,—“In Eden thus
“The Tree of Life may flower for us!”
Without their flames —we wreathe the Palm,
Oh God! we feel the emblem true—
Thy Mercy is eternal too.
Those Cherubs, with their smiling eyes,
That crown of Palm which never dies,
Are but the types of Thee above—
Eternal Life, and Peace, and Love!
“The Scriptures having declared that the Temple of Jerusalem was a type of the Messiah, it is natural to conclude that the Palms, which made so conspicuous a figure in that structure, represented that Life and Immortality which were brought to light by the Gospel.” —Observations on the Palm, as a sacred Emblem, by W. Tighe.
“And he carved all the walls of the house round about with carved figures of cherubims, and palm-trees, and open flowers.” —1 Kings, vi. 29.
“When the passover of the tabernacles was revealed to the great lawgiver in the mount, then the cherubic images which appeared in that structure were no longer surrounded by flames; for the tabernacle was a type of the dispensation of mercy, by which Jehovah confirmed his gracious covenant to redeem mankind.” —Observations on the Palm.
