Your Mission.-Concluded

on

the high-est bil-lows, Laughing at the storms you meet;

You can

stand

a-mong the sailors; Anchored yet with-in

the bay,

You

can

lend a hand to help them, As they launch their boats away, As they launch their boats away.

2 If you are too weak to journey,
Up the mountain, steep and high;
You can stand within the valley,
While the multitudes go by;
You can chant in happy measure,
As they slowly pass along;
Though they may forget the singer,
They will not forget the song.

3 If you cannot in the harvest

Garner up the richest sheaves,
Many a grain, both ripe and golden
May the careless reapers leave.
Go and glean among the briers,

Growing rank against the wall,
For it may be that their shadow

Hides the heaviest wheat of all.

4 If you have not gold and silver
Ever ready to command;
If you cannot toward the needy
Reach an ever open hand,
You can visit the afflicted,

O'er the erring you can weep:
You can be a true disciple

Sitting at the Saviour's feet.

5 Do not, then, stand idly waiting,
For some greater work to do;
Time moves on with rapid motion,
Life and death are both in view;
Go and toil in any vineyard,
Do not fear to do or dare;
If you want a field of labor,
You can find it any where.

Quiet, Lord, my Froward Heart.

(KÜCKEN.)

F. W. KUCKEN. Arr. by H. P. MAIN.

1. Qui-et, Lord, my froward heart; Make me teach-a-ble and mild, Upright, simple, free from art, 2. What Thou shalt to-day provide, Let me as a child receive; What to-morrow may be-tide, little child re-lies On a care beyond his own,Knows he's neither strong nor wise,

3. As a

9:3

Make me as a weaned child,-From distrust and en-vy free, Pleased with all that pleases Thee Calmly to Thy wisdom leave: 'Tis enough that Thou wilt care; Why should I the burden bear! Fears to stir a step a-lone; Let me thus with Thee abide, As my Father, Guard, and Guide.

Blessed Saviour! Thee I Love.

(SPANISH HYMN.)

ANON.

1. Blessed Saviour! Thee I love, All my other joys a-bove; All my hopes in Thee a - bide; 2. Once a-gain beside the cross, All my gain I count but loss; Earthly pleasures fade away, 3. Blessed Saviour! Thine am I, Thine to live,and Thine to die; Height, or depth, or earthly power,

see not, tho' so

near; The sweetness of Thy soft, low voice I am too deaf to hear.

2 I cannot feel Thee touch my hand
With pressure light and mild,
To check me, as my mother doth,
While I am but a child;

But I have felt Thee in my thoughts

Fighting with sin for me;

And when my heart loves God, I know The sweetness is from Thee.

3 And when, dear Saviour! I kneel down
Morning and night to prayer,
Something there is within my heart
Which tells me Thou art there;
Yes! when I pray, Thou prayest too-
Thy prayer is all for me;

But when I sleep, Thou sleepest not,
But watchest patiently.

COMING TO CHRIST.

I DEAR Jesus, let Thy pitying eye
Look kindly down on me;

A sinful, weak, and helpless child,
I come Thy child to be.

2 O blessed Saviour! take my heart,
This sinful heart of mine,
And wash it clean in every part;

Make me a child of Thine.

3 My sins, though great, Thou canst forgive, For Thou hast died for me; Amazing love! help me, O God,

Thine own dear child to be.

4 For Thou hast said, "Forbid them not:
Let children come to me:"

I hear Thy voice, and now, dear Lord,
I come Thy child to be.

Anon.

Yet, 'midst the gloom I hear a sound, A heavenly whisper, Come to me. Amen.
