FOR MR. EMERSON'S ORDINATION.

March, 1829.
“PREACHING PEACE BY JESUS CHRIST”

How beautiful the feet of those
Who publish peace from Heaven!
How glad the tidings they disclose
From Him to save us given!
Glory to God! Good will to men,
And peace on earth, attend his reign.
The world was dark with woe and strife;
Pain, sin, and death, bore sway;
And souls, ordained to nobler life,
In guilt and bondage lay.
His word went forth—earth's evils cease,
And ransomed spirits rest in peace.
That peace which earth can never give,
And never take away,
Shall conquer time and death, and live
Through heaven's eternal day.
Praise to the Lord, whose boundless grace
Redeems and saves our sinful race.
