A death to die for Jesu's sake, A weary war to wage with sin. When deep within our swelling hearts The thoughts of pride and anger rise, When bitter words are on our tongues And tears of passion in our eyes;

Then we may stay the angry blow, Then we may check the hasty word, Give gentle answers back again, And fight a battle for our Lord.

With smiles of peace, and looks of love, Light in our dwellings we may make, Bid kind good humour brighten there, And do all still for Jesu's sake.

There's not a child so small and weak But has his little cross to take, His little work of love and praise That he do for Jesu's sake. may

TE love place, O God,

WWhertin Thine honour dwells,

The joy of Thine abode All earthly joy excels.

Amen.

It is the House of prayer, Wherein Thy servants meet; And Thou, O Lord, art there Thy chosen flock to greet. We love the sacred Font, For there the Holy Dove To pour is ever wont His blessings from above.
