And the night cometh chill with dew,
O Father!-let Thy light break through!

"So let the hills of doubt divide,
So bridge with faith the sunless tide!
So let the eyes that fail on earth
On Thy eternal hills look forth;
And in Thy beckoning angels know
The dear ones whom we loved below!"

Alone, alone, ah! weary soul

Farrar

.

Asleep in Jesus! blessed sleep

Awake, my soul! not only passive praise

BARREN fig-tree sure am I

Be kind to thy father, for when thou wert young
Be not afraid to pray-to pray is right
Beloved, it is well.

Beneath the chancel's hallowed stone
Beyond the smiling and the weeping
Blessings, O Father, shower.
Blue bends the sky above

Broken sunlight! shadows in its train
By Nebo's lonely mountain

DARK shadows of affliction fall

Despair not in the vale of woe

"Do I not feel?" The doubt is keen as steel

Father! that in the olive shade

Fight on, fight on-'tis morning time

Finish thy work, the time is short

For the strength of the hills we bless Thee.

Four little words, no more

From earth retiring

From the far-off fields of earthly toil

Frozen, and chilled, and stranded, they said

GIVE thanks in everything.

Give us this day our daily bread
Gloom is upon thy lonely hearth

Go when the morning shineth

God hath created nights

God might have made the earth bring forth

God's reiterated "All"

Great offices will have.

HARK, hark, my soul! Angelic songs are swelling Faber

He who moved invisible to man

"Himself hath done it all"-oh how these words

His promises surpass my thought

How often forgetting the crown

How sweet to the soul are the breathings of
peace

I AM far frae my hame

I do not ask, O Lord, that life may be
I have been to a land, a border-land
I have found peace in the bright earth
I have mused upon the sky and sea
I hear thee speak of the better land
I journey through a desert drear and wild

I like that ancient Saxon phrase which calls

I look along the past, and gather themes

I murmur not that now a stranger

I praised the earth in beauty seen

I sat in the school of sorrow

I saw the young bride in her beauty and pride

I shine in the light of God

I will accept Thy will to do and be

I would not enter on my list of friends

If affliction grasp thee rudely

If sorrow came not near us

Immortal Hope
