From Robinson's Spiritual Songs, by per. of the Century Co. 3 Our midnight is Thy smile withdrawn ; Our noontide is thy gracious dawn; Our rainbow arch Thy mercy's sign, All, save the clouds of sin, are Thine! 4 Lord of all life, below, above, Whose light is truth, whose warmth is love, Before Thy ever-blazing throne We ask no lustre of our own. 5 Grant us Thy truth to make us free, 250. FAITH AND HOPE, 1 I AM not skilled to understand, What God hath willed, what God hath planned, 2 I take God at His word and deed, 3 And had there been in all this wide, treas-ures above: Oh! what tongue can ex-press The sweet comfort and peace Of a soul in its earliest love? Of a soul in its earliest love. A-men. And rejoice in the day thou wert born; On the festal day, Come exulting away, ||: And with singing to Zion return. :|| 2 We have laid up our love, With our treasure, above, Though our bodies continue below; We remember His word, ||:And with singing, to paradise go. :|| 3 For Thy glory we were First created, to share Both Thy nature and kingdom divine; That our souls may remain, ||:Both in time and eternity, Thine. :|| C.
