WORK while it is to-day! This was our Saviour's rule; 2 Lord Christ, we humbly ask 3 At home, by word and deed, 4 That thus the wilderness May blossom like the rose, And trees spring up of righteousness, 5 For thee our all to spend, ABER. S. M. James Montgomery. 902 Contribution. WE give thee but thine own, 3 To comfort and to bless, 4 The captive to release, To God the lost to bring, To teach the way of life and peaceIt is a Christ-like thing. 5 And we believe thy word, Though dim our faith may be; Whate'er for thine we do, O Lord, We do it unto thee. William W. How. W. H. MONK. BEDAN. S. M. From THE SHAWM. Sow in the morn thy seed, At eve hold not thy hand; To doubt and fear give thou no DARLEY. L. M. b2 4 W. H. W. DARLEY. नॅ Go, la-bor on, while it is day; The world's dark night is hastening on; Speed,speed thy work,-cast sloth way! It is not thus that souls are won-It is not thus that souls are won. Go, LABOR on, while it is day; The world's dark night is hastening on; Speed, speed thy work,-cast sloth away! It is not thus that souls are won. 2 Men die in darkness at your side, 3 Toil on,-faint not; keep watch and pray! Is near, Horatius Bonar. Он, what stupendous mercy shines Around the majesty of heaven! Rebels he deigns to call his sonsTheir souls renewed, their sins forgiven. 2 Go, imitate the grace divine— The grace that blazes like the sun; Hold forth your fair, though feeble light, Through all your lives let mercy run. 3 When all is done, renounce your deeds, Renounce self-righteousness with scorn: Thus will you glorify your God, And thus the Christian name adorn. Thomas Gibbons. Liberality. William H. Drummond. 911 3 That man may last, but never lives, 4 But he who marks, from day to day, Thomas Gibbons. |
