I come to thee, Long-ing for rest; Fold thou thy wea-ry child Safe to thy breast. I come to thee, Hear thou my cry; Save, or I perish, Lord, Save or I die. the rolling waves Bend to thy will, Say to the troubled deep, Peace, peace be still. the parting clouds Fade from my sight; Yon-der thy bow appears, Love-ly and bright.

1. I am looking, ev- er looking with a firm, a - bid- ing faith, To the Refuge where my soul has trusted long, 2. I am watching, ever watching with a calm and steadfast eye, Till the shadows of the twilight shall descend, 3. I am waiting, ever waiting, till my blessed Lord shall come, Till he gathers all his chosen ones, his own; 4. I am looking, watching, waiting, and the time is drawing near When my spirit from its casket shall be free,

Fine.

To my Saviour and Redeemer, who has triumphed over death, For I know that in my weakness he is strong. Till a gentle voice shall call me from the vineyard by and by, And the sowing in the reaping-time shall end. Then I'll sing redeeming mercy with the ransom'd host at home, When I lay my humble sheaves before the throne. When the anthems of the faithful at the river I shall hear, And reward- ed for my trusting I shall be.

D. S.-anchored, safely anchored, on the everlasting Rock; O, my faith is growing brighter ev-'ry day. D.S.

3 Ye know not when I shall come;
It may be when the evening gray

Is making the long black shadows appear
From the poplars over the way;

It may be as the lamps are burning,
As your little ones cluster around,
That faint in the far-off heaven

My coming to you may sound;

REF. So watch. Let the house be in order,
Keep a guard upon the door,
So I, thy Christ, may enter

4 Yes, I'll await thy coming,

Be it morning, noon, or night;

I will list with the heart of a watcher
Whose master may come in sight;
And the door shall be always open,
For fear that I, in my sleep,
May wake too late to open

When I hear my Master's feet.

REF. So I wait, for the time I know not
When my Master's work is done;
I only know that he bids me "watch,"
