4 O Holy Ghost, whose guardian care With faith we sinners bow to Thee, Christ Incarnate. "And the Word was God."-John i. 1. Scopas, 479.] 323 87. [W. WALSHAM HOW. is this, so weak and helpless, Child of lowly Hebrew maid, WHO Rudely in a stable sheltered, "Tis the Lord of all creation, Who this wondrous path hath trod, 2 Who is this-a man of sorrows, Where no tear can dim the eye. 4 Who is this that hangeth dying, Whom the world reviles and scorns, Torn with nails and crowned with thorns; 'Tis the God who ever liveth Christ in the Grabe. "We who have believed do enter into rest." Cheshunt, 384.] 324 2 3 4 5 Heb. iv. 3. 44.77.6. SO rest, my Rest, Thou ever blest, [VICTOR STRAUSS, Thy grave with sinners making; By Thy power of life through death Here in the tomb In silent gloom, Fast in Thy rock-bound prison. Breath of all breath, My dust Thou wilt awaken; The dead are blest Their toil and care now ended; Even now may we Find rest in Thee, In toil, and care, and sadness; Thou, from these, canst pluck the sting, 6 Thou risen Lord, The graves their dead deliver; Christ Risen. "If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above."-Col. iii. 1. Coblentz, 418.] 325 O 86.86.44.88. [J. H. BOEHMER, tr. by RISEN Lord! O conquering King! To us that peace of freedom bring Which only Thou canst give: Once Death, our foe, Had laid Thee low; Now Thou hast rent his bonds in twain, 2 O that our hearts might only know And, gazing on Thy conflict, glow Thy glorious might, Still comfortless and lonely leave The soul that cannot yet believe. 8 Then break through our cold hearts Thy way That in Thy strength, We too may rise, whom sin had slain, 4 And, when our tears for sin o'erflow, O Christ, from Thee, Drink in the life that cannot die, And quit the grave of death and sin, For all who cleave To Thee through all this earthly strife: The Holy Spirit. "Thy Spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness."-Ps. cxliii. 10. Olivet, 39.] 664,666.4. [RAY PALMER. 326 COME, Holy Ghost, in love, Shed on us from above Divinely good Thou art; 2 Come, tenderest Friend and best, Rest, which the weary know, 3 Come, Light serene and still, We know no dawn but Thine, 4 Exalt our low desires, Our stubborn spirits bend, While heavenward bound. 5 Come, all the faithful bless, Give virtue's rich reward, Probation. (FOR MISSION SERVICES.) "Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap."-Gal. vi. 7. Gen nesaret, 466.] (Irregular.) 327 SOWING our seed in the morning fair, Sowing our seed in the noontide glare, Sowing our seed in the fading light, Sown in the darkness or sown in the light, Sure, ah! sure, will the harvest be. 2 Sowing our seed by the wayside high, Oh, what shall the harvest be? Sown in the darkness, &c. |
