SUNDAYS AFTER TRINITY: SERVICE. Toil on, and in thy toil rejoice;

For toil comes rest, for exile home; Soon shalt thou hear the Bride­groom's voice,

L The midnight cry, Behold, I come. Amen.

348 My God, my Father, let me

rest

In the calm sun- glow of Thy face, Until Thy love in me express'd

Draws others to Thy throne of grace. 0 Jesu, Master, let me hold

Such secret fellowship with Thee, That others, careless once and cold, Won to my Lord and theirs may be. Eternal Spirit, heavenly Dove,

The light of life to me impart, Till fire descending from above Burns on and on from heart to heart.

O Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,

Still, still may love to love respond; And teach me, when I love Thee most, Depths all unfathom'd lie beyond. Amen.

349 I GAVE My life for thee,

My precious blood I shed, That thou might'st ransom'd be, And quicken'd from the dead. I gave My life for thee; What hast thou given for Me? I spent long years for thee, In weariness and woe, That an eternity

Of joy thou mightest know. I spent long years for thee; Hast thou spent one for Me? My Father's home of light, My rainbow- circled throne, I left for earthly night,

For wanderings sad and lone. I left it all for thee; Hast thou left aught for Me? I suffer'd much for thee,

More than thy tongue can tell, Of bitterest agony,

To rescue thee from hell. I suffer'd much for thee; What canst thou bear for Me? And I have brought to thee, Down from My home above, Salvation full and free,

My pardon and my love. Great gifts I brought to thee; What hast thou brought to Me? Oh, let thy life be given,

Thy years for Me be spent, World- fetters all be riven, And joy with suffering blent. I gave myself for thee; Give thou thyself to Me.

Amen.

350 TAKE my life, and let it be Consecrated, Lord, to Thee; Take my moments and my days, Let them flow in ceaseiess praise. Take my hands, and let them movs At the impulse of Thy love; Take my feet, and let them be Swift and beautiful for Thee.

Take my voice, and let me sing Always, only, for my King; Take my lips, and let them be Fill'd with messages from Thee. Take my silver and my gold, Not a mite would I withhold; Take my intellect, and use Every power as Thou shalt choose. Take my will, and make it Thine; It shall be no longer mine; Take my heart, it is Thine own; It shall be Thy royal throne. Take my love; my Lord, I pour At Thy feet its treasured store: Take myself, and I will be, Ever, only, all, for Thee. Amen.

351 TAKE up thy cross, the Saviors said, If thou wouldst My disciple be; Deny thyself, the world forsake,

And humbly follow after Me. Take up thy cross; let not its weight Fill thy weak soul with vain alarm: My strength shall bear thy spirit up, And brace thine heart and nerve thine arm.

Take up thy cross, nor heed the shame Nor let thy foolish pride rebel; Thy Lord for thee the cross endured, To save thy soul from death and bell Take up thy cross then in His strength And calmly every danger hrave: " Twill guide thee to a better home, And lead to victory o'er the grave. Take up thy cross and follow Him, Nor think till death to lay it down: For only he who bears the cross May hope to wear the glorious crown. Amen.
