BE OF GOOD CHEER.
mountain and vale
There' is pure, sweet air on the mountain tops— But our work must be done below; From the loftier springs oo«e the crystal drops— But eve drink where the tears outflow' ; There arc woes to heal that we cannot find On the heights that we love to scale; There are broken hearts that we fain would bind, But they lie in the lowly vale. 0 the towering peak has a strength sublime! But the glens have a soft, sweet ' peace; Though our soils expand as we upward climb, Love’s appeals from the wayside cease: When the veil of cloud from the summit lifts, How majestic the night we. see! But we catch no glimse, through the opening rifts, Of the whole robe of Charity.
