Te ought to remember the words of the LORD JESUS, how He said, It is more blessed

to give than to receive."

ORD of

us

LWith Thy life- blood as the price,

Never grudging for the lost ones That tremendous sacrifice, And with that hast freely given Blessings countless as the sand To the unthankful and the evil, With Thine own unsparing hand; Grant us hearts, dear LORD, to yield Thee Gladly, freely of Thine own; With the sunshine of Thy goodness

Melt our thankless hearts of stone; Till our cold and solfish natures,

Warmed by Thee at length believe That more happy and more blessèd " Tis to give than to receive. Wondrous honour hast Thou given To our humblest charity, In Thine own mysterious sentence " Ye have done it unto Me." Can it be, O gracious Master,

Thou dost deign for alms to sue, Saying by Thy poor and needy

" Give as I have given to you?" Yes: the sorrow and the suffering, Which on every hand we see, Channels are for tithes and offerings Due by solemn right to Thee; Right of which we may not rob Thes, Debt we may not choose but pay, Lest that Face of love and pitv Turn from us another day

LORD of glory, Who hast bought us With Thy life- blood as the price, Never grudging for the lost ones That tremendous sacrifice, Give us Faith, to trust Thee boldly Hope, to stay our souls on Thee But oh! best of all Thy graces Give us Thine own Charity, Amon.
