I miss thee, when by Gunga's stream, My twilight steps I guide ; But most beneath the lamp's pale beam, I miss thee from my side ! I spread my books, my pencil try, The lingering noon to cheer; But miss thy kind, approving eye, Thy meek, attentive ear.
Página 92 - HOLY, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty! Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee: Holy, Holy, Holy! merciful and mighty! God in Three Persons, blessed Trinity!
Página 85 - The Lord of Love on Calvary, A meek and suffering stranger, Upraised to heaven His languid eye In nature's hour of danger ; For us He bore the weight of woe, For us He gave His blood to flow, And met His Father's anger.
Página 123 - BREAD of the world, in mercy broken, Wine of the soul, in mercy shed, By Whom th.e words of life were spoken, And in Whose death our sins are dead ; 2 Look on the heart by sorrow broken, Look on the tears by sinners shed ; And be Thy feast to us the token That by Thy grace our souls are fed.
