SUNDAYS AFTER TRINITY SERVICE. That so Thy lambs may know Their own true Shepherd's voice, Where'er He leads them go, And in His love rejoice. Live Thou within us, Lord; Thy mind and will be ours; Be Thou beloved, adored,
And served, with all our powers; That so our lives may teach
There, as we gaze, may we become United, Lord, to Thee; And in a fairer happier home Thy perfect beauty see. Amen.
Sundays atter Trinity: Service. 344 LORD, speak to me, that I may speak
In living echoes of Thy tone; As Thou hast sought, so let me seek Thy erring children lost and lone.
Thy children what Thou art, And plead, by more than speech, For Thee with every heart. Amen.
Oh lead me, Lord, that I may lead
The wandering and the wavering 346 Sow in the morn thy seed,
At eve hold not thine hand; To doubt and fear give thou no heed, Broad- cast it o'er the land.
Ch feed me, Lord, that I may feed Thy hungering ones with manna sweet.
Oh strengthen me, that while I stand Firm on the Rock, and strong in Thee,
I may stretch out a loving hand To wrestlers with the troubled sea. Oh teach me, Lord, that I may teach The precious things Thou dost impart; [ reach And wing my words, that they may The hidden depths of many a heart. Oh give Thine own sweet rest to me, That I may speak with soothing
power
A word in season, as from Thee, To weary ones in needful hour. Oh fill me with Thy fulness, Lord, In kindling thought and glowing Until my very heart o'erflow( word, Thy love to tell, Thy praise to show. Oh use me, Lord, use even me,
Just as Thou wilt, and when, and Until Thy blessed face I see,[ where; Thy rest, Thy joy, Thy glory share.
Amen.
Thou know'st not which may thrive, The late or early sown; Grace keeps the chosen germ alive, When and wherever strown. And duly shall appear,
In verdure, beauty, strength, The tender blade, the stalk, the ear. And the full corn at length. Thou canst not toil in vain; Cold, heat, and moist, and dry Shall foster and mature the grain For garners in the sky. Hence, when the glorious end, The day of God, is come, The angel reapers shall descend, And heaven cry, Harvest- home.
Amen.
347 Go, labour on; spend, and be
spent ,
FOR PARENTS AND TEACHERS.
345 SHINE Thou upon us, Lord, True Light of men, to- day; And through the written word Thy very self display: That so from hearts which burn With gazing on Thy face, The little ones may learn
The wonders of Thy grace. Breathe Thou upon us, Lord, Thy Spirit's living flame, That so with one accord
Our lips may tell Thy name; Give Thou the hearing ear,
Fix Thou the wandering thought, That those we teach may hear The great things Thou hast wrought. Speak Thou for us, O Lord,
In all we say of Thee; According to Thy word
Let all our teaching be;
88
Thy joy to do the Father's will; It is the way the Master went:
Should not the servant tread it still? Go, labour on; tis not for nought;
Thy earthly loss is heavenly gain; Men heed thee, love thee, praise thee [ men?
not:
The Master praises;-what are Go, labour on; your hands are weak, Your knees are faint, your soul cast down;
Yet falter not: the prize you seek Is near,-a kingdom and a crown. Go, labour on while it is day,[ on; The world's dark night is hastening Speed, speed thy work, cast sloth
away:
are won.
With strong great wrestlings souls Men die in darkness at your side,
Without a hope to cheer the tomb; Take up the torch and wave it wide, The torch that lights time's thickest gloom.
Toil on, faint not, keep watch and
pray;
Be wise the erring soul to win; Go forth into the world's highway, Compel the wanderer to come in.
