o Awed by the threatening hour. 'Tis noon ; yet nature's calm profound Seems as at midnight deep ; But hark ! what peal of awful sound Breaks on creation's sleep ? The thunder bursts! its rolling might Seems the firm hills to shake ; And in terrific splendor bright, The gathered lightnings break. 35 Yet fear not, shrink not thou, mv child ! / Though by the bolt's descent Were the tall cliffs in ruins piled, And the wide forests rent. Doth not thy God behold thee still, With all-surveying eye ? ...Doth not his power all nature fill, Around, beneath, on high ? Know, hadst thou eagle-pinions free, To track the realms of air, Thou couldst not reach a spot where He Would not be with thee there ! 36 Jn the wide city's peopled towers, On the vast ocean's plains, 'Midst the deep woodland's loneliest bowers, Alike th" Almighty reigns ! Then tear not, though the angry sky A thousand darts should cast ; \Vliy should we tremble, e'en to die. And be with Him at last ? :*'B is 37 HYMN BY THE SICK BED OP A MOTHER.
