Exhortation

Winged are thy thoughts with song,And jubilant with praise;Rise on these pinions strong,Upward where angels throng,High o'er earth's haze.

More Light, Dear God!

Teach me to know the pure in heartSee God; that man does not depend on mortal breathFor life, but perfect in His likeness, set apart,Can never know the enemy called death,Since God is Life.
