1 The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not | want; || he maketh me to lie down in green pastures; he leadeth me beside the | still- | waters.

Heaven pours its full streams through no | medium but | this!
And till in the seraph's full ecstasy | share,

Our chalice of joy must be | guarded by | prayer. CHO.
