We bow be-fore Thy right-eous claim To all we have, and all we are.

A-men.

What shall I do, my Lord, my God, To make my life worth more to Thee?

2 Through strange confusions of the time 4 The dearest voice may lead astray:
I hear Thy beckoning call resound:
There is a pathway more sublime

Than yet my laggard feet have found.

3 My coward heart, my flagging feet,

They hold me in bewildering gloom; Come Thou my stumbling steps to meet, And lift me unto larger room!

223 MARGUERITE C. M.

Speak Thou! Thy word my guide shall be, Oh, not from life and men away,

But through them, with them, up to Thee.

5 It is not much these hands can do:
Keep Thou my spirit close to Thine,
Till every thought Thy love throbs through,
And all my words breathe truth divine!

2 Where is the blessedness I knew
When first I saw the Lord?
Where is the soul-refreshing view
Of Jesus and His word?

3 What peaceful hours I once enjoyed!
How sweet their memory still!
But they have left an aching void
The world can never fill.

4 Return, O holy Dove, return, Sweet messenger of rest;

I hate the sins that made Thee mourn, And drove Thee from my breast.

5 The dearest idol I have known,
Whate'er that idol be,

Help me to tear it from Thy throne,
And worship only Thee.

9:25

Help me, throughout life's changing scene, By faith to cling to Thee! A-men.

2 What though the world deceitful prove, And earthly friends and joys remove? With patient, uncomplaining love

Still would I cling to Thee.

3 Though faith and hope awhile be tried, I ask not, need not aught beside:

How safe, how calm, how satisfied, The souls that cling to Thee.

4 Blest is my lot whate'er befall;
What can disturb me, who appall,
While, as my strength, my rock, my all,
Saviour, I cling to Thee?

Angels of light,Sing - ing to wel-come the pilgrims of the night! A-men.

2 Onward we go, for still we hear them singing,

[ocr errors]

'Come, weary souls, for Jesus bids you come;"
And through the dark, its echoes sweetly ringing,
The music of the gospel leads us home.

Angels of Jesus, Angels of light,
Singing to welcome the pilgrims of the night!

3 Far, far away, like bells at evening pealing,

The voice of Jesus sounds o'er land and sea;
And laden souls, by thousands meekly stealing,
Kind Shepherd, turn their weary steps to Thee.—Ref.

4 Angels, sing on! your faithful watches keeping;
Sing us sweet fragments of the songs above;
Till morning's joy shall end the night of weeping,
And life's long shadows break in cloudless love.-Ref.
FREDERICK W. FABER, 1854
