Lesson 116.-Learn for Monday Morning.
PSALM XXIII.

The Lord my pasture shall prepare, When in the sultry glade I faint,
And feed me with a shepherd's care; Or on the thirsty mountain pant,
His presence shall my wants supply, To fertile vales and dewy meads,
And guard me with a watchful eye: My weary, wandering steps He leads,
My noon-day walks He shall attend, Where peaceful rivers, soft and slow,
And all my midnight hours defend. Amid the verdant landscapes flow.

PSALM XXIII.-(Continued).

Though in the paths of death I tread,
With gloomy horrors overspread,
My steadfast heart shall fear no ill,
For Thou, O God, art with me still;
Thy friendly staff shall be my aid,
And guide me through the dreadful'
shade.

Though in a bare and rugged way,
Through devious lonely wilds I stray,
Thy bounty shall my wants beguile;
The barren wilderness shall smile,
With sudden greens and herbage
crowned,

And streams shall murmur all around.

GOD SPEED THE RIGHT.

Now to heaven our prayer ascending,
God speed the right;

In a noble cause contending,
God speed the right ;
Be their zeal in heaven recorded,
All their loving toil rewarded,
And success on earth recorded,

God speed the right.

Be that prayer again repeated,
God speed the right;
Ne'er despairing though defeated,
God speed the right;
Like the good and great in story,
Be their lot on earth but lowly,
If they fail, they fail with glory,
God speed the right.
