INDEX.

Fondly, fondly returneth the daylight,

For thee we long and pray,

.

Go labour on; spend, and be spent,

Go up, go up, my heart,

Happy sons of Israel,

Ha! yon burst of crystal splendour,

He has come! the Christ of God,. He stood bewildered on his lonely hearth, Here, O my Lord, I see thee face to face, How oft the morn has cheated us, Holy Father! hear my cry,.

I am wandering down life's shady path, I close my heavy eye,

. 5.

I heard the voice of Jesus say,

I lay my sins on Jesus,

I love yon pale blue sky,

I miss the dear paternal dwelling,

I see the crowd in Pilate's hall,

I thought upon my sins, and I was sad,

I walk as one who knows that he is treading,

I was a wand'ring sheep,

I weep, but do not yield,

In the beginning was the Word,

It is the Father's voice that cries,

Jesus, while this rough desert- soil,

.

.

Lay down thy burden here,

" Let there be light," Jehovah said,

Lie down, frail body, here,

Light of the better morning,

Look at this starbeam! From its place of birth,

Love strong as death, nay, stronger,

Make haste, 0 man, to live,

Nay,' tis not what we fancied it,

No night descend on thee,
