SPIRITUAL SONGS.

THE LIFE OF A CHRISTIAN.

A MIXTURE of joy and trouble I daily do pass through,
Sometimes I'm in a valley sinking down with woe;
Sometimes I am exalted, on eagle's wings I fly,
I rise above old Pisgah, and almost reach the sky.
Sometimes I am a doubting, and think I have no

grace;

Sometimes I am a shouting, and Bethel is the place; Sometimes my hope's so little I think I'll throw it by; Sometimes it is sufficient, if I were call'd to die.

Sometimes I shun the Christian, for fear he'll talk to

me;

Sometimes he is the neighbour I long the most to

see;

Sometimes we meet together, the season's dry and

dull;

Sometimes we find a blessing, with joy it fills my soul.

Sometimes I am oppress'd by Pharaoh's cruel hand; Sometimes I look o'er Jordan, and view the promised land;

Sometimes I am in darkness, sometimes I'm in the light;

Sometimes my soul takes wings of faith, and then I speed my flight.
