Página 162 - LORD, what a change within us one short hour Spent in thy presence will prevail to make, What heavy burdens from our bosoms take, "What parched grounds refresh, as with a shower ! "We kneel, and all around us seems to lower; We rise, and all, the distant and the near, Stands forth in sunny outline, brave and clear ; We kneel how weak, we rise how full of power.
Página 116 - SOME murmur, when their sky is clear And wholly bright to view, If one small speck of dark appear In their great heaven of blue : And some with thankful love are filled, If but one streak of light, One ray of God's good mercy gild The darkness of their night. In palaces are hearts that ask, In discontent and pride, Why life is such a dreary task, And all good things denied : And hearts in poorest huts admire How Love has in their aid, Love that not ever seems to tire, Such rich provision made.
Página 160 - OUR course is onward, onward into light: What though the darkness gathereth amain, Yet to return or tarry both are vain. How tarry, when around us is thick night ? Whither return ? what flower yet ever might, In days of gloom and cold and stormy rain, Enclose itself in its green bud again, Hiding from wrath of tempest out of sight...

Página 167 - WHEN hearts are full of yearning tenderness For the loved absent, whom we cannot reach, By deed or token, gesture or kind speech, The spirit's true affection to express ; When hearts are full of innermost distress, And we are doomed to stand inactive by, Watching the soul's or body's agony, Which human effort helps not to make less...
Página 107 - Thou may'st quench thy thirst securely, for thou shalt not die before Thou hast drunk that cup of water. This reprieve is thine, no more.
Página 62 - Among the graves to shout, To laugh and play among the dead, And make this noisy rout.
Página 100 - THOU inevitable day, When a voice to me shall say, " Thou must rise and come away ; " All thine other journeys past, Gird thee, and make ready fast For thy longest and thy last ; " — Day deep-hidden from our sight In impenetrable night, Who may guess of thee aright?
Página 84 - Love depart. Once o'er this painful earth a man did move, The Man of griefs, because the Man of Love. Hope, Faith, and Love, at God's high altar shine, Lamp triple-branched, and fed with oil divine. Two of these triple lights shall once grow pale, They burn without, but Love within the veil.
Página 119 - ORD, many times I am aweary quite Of mine own self, my sin, my vanity — Yet be not thou, or I am lost outright, Weary of me. And hate against myself I often bear, And enter with myself in fierce debate : Take thou my part against myself, nor share In that just hate ! Best friends might loathe us, if what things perverse We know of our own selves, they also knew : Lord, Holy One ! if thou who knowest worse Shouldst loathe us too ! THE DAY OF DEATH.
