118. P. M. Bowring.

"He Was There Alone."

1 He was there alone, when even

Had round earth its mantle thrown,

Holding intercourse with heaven:

He was there alone.

2 There his inmost heart's emotion

Made he to his Father known;

In the spirit of devotion

Musing there alone.

3 So let us, from earth retiring,

Seek our God and Father's throne;

And, to other scenes aspiring,

Train our hearts, alone.
