Are dwelling in the plains; the wilderness
Is blooming as the rose. As the waters
O'er the broad sea, will knowledge spread her beams,
Till all from great to small shall know the Lord!

LOVE NEVER SLEEPS.
Love never sleeps:
Its watch it keeps
Through life's most stormy hours;
O'er joy it reigns,
In grief sustains,
And scatters ceaseless flowers.
Its watch it keeps
Through life's most stormy hours;
O'er joy it reigns,
In grief sustains,
And scatters ceaseless flowers.
It is the stream
That gives a theme,
A thought, a spring, a blessing;
Like stars of light,
Unchang'd and bright,
All hearts its joy possessing.
That gives a theme,

Like stars of light,
Unchang'd and bright,
All hearts its joy possessing.
All sound is fill'd,
All nature's thrill'd
With love's harmonious measure;
In ev'ry heart
It forms the part
Of life's own dearest treasure
All nature's thrill'd
With love's harmonious measure;
In ev'ry heart
It forms the part
Of life's own dearest treasure
