THE STARS.
‘See, the stars are coming
In the far blue skies!
Mother, look! they brighten—
Are they angel's eyes?’
In the far blue skies!
Mother, look! they brighten—
Are they angel's eyes?’
‘No, my child, the splendor
Of those stars is given,
Like the hues of flowers,
By the God of heaven.’
Of those stars is given,
Like the hues of flowers,
By the God of heaven.’
‘Mother, if I study,
Sure He'll let me know
Why those stars he lighted
O'er our earth to glow:’
Sure He'll let me know
Why those stars he lighted
O'er our earth to glow:’
‘Child—what God has finished
Has a glorious aim,—
Thine it is to worship
And love His holy name.’
Has a glorious aim,—
Thine it is to worship
And love His holy name.’
