Jesus,Lord of life and glory, Bend from heav'n Thy gra-cious ear;

While our wait-ing souls a - dore Thee,Friend of help - less sin - ners, hear:

heart is wea-ry and dis-tressed, Seek - ing for com fort from your heav'nly

2 Large are the mansions in thy Father's dwelling,
Glad are the homes that sorrows never dim;

Sweet are the harps in holy music swelling,

Soft are the tones which raise the heavenly hymn.

3 There, like an Eden blossoming in gladness,

Bloom the fair flowers the earth too rudely pressed;
Come unto Me all ye who droop in sadness,

Come unto Me, and I will give you rest!

CATHERINE HARBISON ESLING, 1839

2 Thou knowest all the past: how long and blindly
On the dark mountains the lost wanderer strayed;
How the Good Shepherd followed, and how kindly
He bore it home, upon His shoulders laid,
And healed the bleeding wounds, and soothed the pain,
And brought back life and hope and strength again.

3 Thou knowest all the future: gleams of gladness
By stormy clouds too quickly overcast;
Hours of sweet fellowship and parting sadness,
And the dark river to be crossed at last.

O, what could hope and confidence afford

To tread that path, but this, Thou knowest, Lord!

4 Therefore we come, Thy gentle call obeying,
And lay our sins and sorrows at Thy feet;
On everlasting strength our weakness staying,
Clothed in Thy robe of righteousness complete:
Then rising and refreshed we leave Thy throne,
And follow on to know as we are known.

Miss JANE BORTHWICK and Mrs. ERIC FINDLATER, 1854?

3 Walk in the light: and thou shalt find 5 Walk in the light: and e'en the tomb Thy heart made truly His

Who dwells in cloudless light enshrined,

In whom no darkness is.

No fearful shade shall wear;
Glory shall chase away its gloom,
For Christ hath conquered there.

6 Walk in the light: and thine shall be
A path, though thorny, bright;
For God, by grace, shall dwell in thee,
And God Himself is light.
