Take thy staff, 0 pilgrim! Haste thee on thy way; Let the mor-row find thee

I TAKE thy staff, O pilgrim !
Haste thee on thy way;

Let the morrow find thee

Farther than to-day.

If thou seek the city

Of the Golden Street,

Pause not on thy pathway,
Rest not weary feet.

2 In the heavenly journey
Press with zeal along ;
Resting will but weary,
Running make thee strong.
Wings that eagles carry

Rear them in their flight;
So thy burden bears thee,
Surely, then, 't is light!

3 Haste! it hath been told thee All things are thine own; Pass the pearly portals,

Stand before the throne.
Here thy journey endeth,
Here thy staff lay down;
Enter here thy mansion,

Here receive thy crown!

I SUMMER Suns are glowing
Over land and sea,
Happy light is flowing

· Bountiful and free.

Everything rejoices.

In the mellow rays,
All earth's thousand voices
Swell the psalm of praise.

2 God's free mercy streameth
Over all the world,

And his banner gleameth,
Everywhere unfurled.
Broad and deep and glorious
As the heaven above,
Shines in might victorious
His eternal love.

3 Lord, upon our blindness
Thy pure radiance pour;
For thy loving-kindness

Make us love thee more;
And, when clouds are drifting
Dark across our sky,
Then, the veil uplifting,
Father, be thou nigh!

4 We will never doubt thee,.
Though thou veil thy light;
Life is dark without thee,
Death with thee is bright.
Light of Light, shine o'er us
On our pilgrim way;
Go thou still before us
To the endless day.

4 We, thy children, raising Unto thee our hearts, In thy constant praising

Bear our duteous parts; As thy love hath won us

From the world away, Still thy hands put on us, Bless us day by day.

507.

I IN the hour of trial,
Father, strengthen me,
Lest, by base denial,
I depart from thee.
When thou see'st me waver,
With a touch recall,
Nor from thy dear favor
Suffer me to fall.

2 With forbidden pleasures
Would this vain world charm
Or its sordid treasures
Spread to work me harm,-
By thy love sustaining,
Father, keep thy child;
All my foes restraining,
And my passions wild.

3 Should thy mercy send me
Sorrow, toil, and woe,
Or should pain attend me
On my path below, -
Grant that I may never
Fail thy hand to see;
Grant that I may ever
Cast my care on thee.

There is a book, who runs may read, Which heavenly truth imparts; And all the lore its scholars need, Pure eyes and Christian hearts.

I THERE is a book, who runs may read,

Which heavenly truth imparts;

And all the lore its scholars need,
Pure eyes and Christian hearts.

2 The works of God, above, below,
Within us and around,

Are pages in that book, to show
How God himself is found.

3 The glorious sky, embracing all,
Is like the Maker's love,

Wherewith encompassed, great and small

In peace and order move.

4 Two worlds are ours: 't is only sin
Forbids us to descry

The mystic heaven and earth within,
Plain as the sea and sky.

5 Thou who hast given us eyes to see
And love this sight so fair,
Give us a heart to find out thee,
And read thee everywhere.
