The shower is past and the sky	A
O'erhead is both mild and serene	B
Save where a few drops from on high	A
Like gems twinkle over the green	B
And glowing fair in the black north	C
The rainbow o'erarches the cloud	D
The sun in his glory comes forth	C
And larks sweetly warble aloud	D
	-
That dismally grim northern sky	A
Says God in His vengeance once frowned	E
And opened His flood gates on high	A
Till obstinate sinners were drowned	E
The lively bright south and that bow	F
Say all this dread vengeance is o'er	G
These colours that smilingly glow	H
Say we shall be deluged no more	I
	-
Ever blessed be those innocent days	J
Ever sweet their remembrance to me	K
When often in silent amaze	J
Enraptured I'd gaze upon thee	K
Whilst arching adown the black sky	A
Thy colours glowed on the green hill	L
To catch thee as lightning I'd fly	A
But aye you eluded my skill	L
	-
From hill unto hill your gay scene	B
You shifted whilst crying aloud	D
I ran till at length from the green	B
You shifted at once to the cloud	D
So vain worldly phantoms betray	M
The youths who too eager pursue	N
When ruined and far led astray	M
Th' illusion escapes from their view	N
	-
Those peaceable days knew no care	O
Except what arose from my play	M
My favourite lambkin and hare	O
And cabin I built o'er the way	M
No cares did I say Ah I'm wrong	P
Even childhood from cares is not free	K
Far distant I see a grim throng	P
Shake horrible lances at me	K
	-
One day I remember it still	L
For pranks I had played on the clown	Q
Who lived on the neighbouring hill	L
My cabin was trod to the ground	E
Who ever felt grief such as I	A
When crashed by this terrible blow	H
Not Priam the monarch of Troy	R
When all his proud towers lay low	H
	-
And grief upon grief was my lot	S
Soon after my lambkin was slain	T
My hare having strayed from its cot	S
Was chased by the hounds o'er the plain	T
What countless calamities teem	U
From memory's page on my view	N
How trifling soever you seem	U
Yet once I have wept over you	N
	-
Then cease foolish heart to repine	T
No stage is exempted from care	O
If you would true happiness find	V
Come follow and I'll show you where	O
But first let us take for our guide	W
The Word which Jehovah has penned	X
By this the true path is descried	X
Which leads to a glorious end	X
	-
How narrow this path to our view	N
How steep an ascent lies before	I
Whilst foolish fond heart laid for you	N
Are dazzling temptations all o'er	G
What bye ways with easy descent	X
Invite us through pleasures to stray	M
Whilst Satan with hellish intent	X
Suggests that we ought to obey	M
	-
But trust not the father of lies	Y
He tempts you with vanity's dream	U
His pleasure when touched quickly dies	Y
Like bubbles that dance on the stream	U
Look not on the wine when it glows	Z
All ruddy in vessels of gold	X
At last it will sting your repose	Z
And death at the bottom unfold	X
	-
But lo an unnatural night	X
Pours suddenly down on the eye	A
The sun has withdrawn all his light	X
And rolls a black globe o'er the sky	A
And hark what a cry rent the air	O
Immortal the terrible sound	X
The rocks split with honible tear	O
And fearfully shakes all the ground	X
	-
The dead from their slumbers awake	A2
And leaving their mouldy domain	T
Make poor guilty mortals to quake	A2
As pallid they glide o'er the plain	T
Sure Nature's own God is oppressed	X
And Nature in agony cries	Y
The sun in his mourning is dressed	X
To tell the sad news through the skies	Y
	-
Yet surely some victory's gained	X
Important and novel and great	X
Since Death has his captives unchained	X
And widely thrown open his gate	X
Yes victory great as a God	X
Could gain over hell death and sin	T
This moment's achieved by the blood	X
Of Jesus our crucified King	B2
	-
But all the dread conflict is o'er	G
Lo cloud after cloud rolls away	M
And heaven serene as before	I
Breaks forth in the splendour of day	M
And all the sweet landscape around	X
Emerged from the ocean of night	X
With groves woods and villages crowned	X
Astonish and fill with delight	X
	-
But see where that crowd melts away	M
Three crosses sad spectacles show	H
Our Guide has not led us astray	M
Heart this is the secret you'd know	H
Two thieves and a crucified God	X
Hangs awfully mangled between	T
Whilst fast from His veins spouting blood	X
Runs dyeing with purple the green	T
	-
Behold the red flood rolls along	P
And forming a bason below	H
Is termed in Emanuel's song	P
The fount for uncleanness and woe	H
Immerged in that precious tide	X
The soul quickly loses its stains	C2
Though deeper than crimson they're dyed	X
And 'scapes from its sorrows and pains	C2
	-
This fountain is opened for you	N
Go wash without money or price	D2
And instantly formed anew	N
You'll lose all your woes in a trice	D2
Then cease foolish heart to repine	N
No stage is exempted from care	O
If you would true happiness find	X
'Tis on Calvary seek for it there	O
