+ And shall the free and heaven-born soul + Yield to the body’s base control? + + Oh, thoughtless slumberer, wake, arise! + To God, to heaven, lift up thine eyes; + Eternity’s vast ocean see, + And but a step ’twixt it and thee. + + A clear, unerring chart is given + To guide the traveller’s feet to heaven; + With humble heart there seek thy way-- + None led by that can go astray. + + It will point out a holy path, + Of self-denial, love, and faith; + But strait and arduous though it be, + My God, it leads to heaven and thee. + + Saviour! for mine this path I take, + Through thee alone the choice I make; + Nor one step onward can I go, + Till thou both will and power bestow. + + To thee I now commit my way, + My wants, my dangers, through the day,-- + Wilt thou my every want supply, + And be in every danger nigh? + + Oh, let thy smile my solace be! + ’Tis more than ought in life to me; + Permit me not to slight thy grace, + Or cause thee once to hide thy face. + + That blessed Spirit’s aid impart, + Who can transform and cleanse my heart; + Make the polluted fountain clear, + Whose streams in words and acts appear. + + Teach me this day to keep in view + The prize thy followers should pursue; + To adorn thy doctrine, and to shed + Fragrance and light where’er I tread. + + Saviour!

And the peace of God, which passeth + all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ + Jesus.” + --PHILIP. iv. 6, 7. + + + My God! is any hour so sweet, + From blush of morn to evening-star, + As that which calls me to thy feet-- + The hour of prayer? + + Blest be that tranquil hour of morn, + And blest that hour of solemn eve, + When on the wings of prayer upborne, + The world I leave. + + For then a day-spring shines on me, + Brighter than morn’s ethereal glow; + And richer dews descend from thee + Than earth can know. + + Then is my strength by thee renewed; + Then are my sins by thee forgiven; + Then dost thou cheer my solitude + With hopes of heaven. + + Words cannot tell what blest relief + Here for my every want I find; + What strength for warfare, balm for grief; + What peace of mind. + + Hushed is each doubt--gone every fear, + My spirit seems in heaven to stay; + And e’en the penitential tear + Is wiped away. + + Oh, till I reach yon peaceful shore, + No privilege so dear shall be, + As thus my inmost soul to pour + In prayer to thee! + + + + +Friday Morning. + + “Acquaint thyself with him, and be at peace.” + --JOB xxii. 21. + + + Art thou acquainted, oh my soul! + With such a Saviour, such a Friend, + Whose power can all events control, + And from all evils can defend? + + Why art thou then opprest with fears? + Knowledge of him should give thee peace; + Should check these often-flowing tears, + And bid these sad misgivings cease. + + Is it the _past_ that gives thee pain? + Transgressions, falls, dost thou deplore? + The atoning blood pleads not in vain, + Thy God remembers them no more. + + Do _present_ troubles vex thy mind? + Sufferings of body, mental care? + In God a refuge thou wilt find; + And oh, what sweet relief in prayer! + + Dost thou o’er friends much valued weep, + Who seem in hopeless fetters bound? + Christ will seek out his wandering sheep-- + Those who seem lost will then be found. + + Dost thou the unknown _future_ dread? + Thy passage through death’s awful vale? + E’en there shall light around be shed + Thy God’s sure promise cannot fail. + + Dost thou with dread still greater, shrink + From pain for those on earth most dear; + And oft with sickening anguish think + On all they yet may suffer here? + + Oh faithless, unbelieving heart! + So slow to trust the tenderest Friend: + Who then will needful strength impart,-- + Who “loving, loves unto the end.” + + No longer doubt, nor fear, nor grieve, + Nor on uncertain evils dwell: + Past, present, future, calmly leave + To him who will do all things well. + +[Illustration] + + + + +Friday Evening. + + “Having a desire to depart and to be with Christ, which is far + better.” + --PHILIP. i. 23. + + + Let me be with thee where thou art! + My Saviour, my eternal rest! + Then only with this longing heart + Be fully and for ever blest. + + Let me be with thee where thou art! + Thy unveiled glory to behold; + Then only will this wandering heart + Cease to be treacherous, faithless, cold. + + Let me be with thee where thou art! + Where spotless saints thy name adore; + Then only will this sinful heart + Be evil and defiled no more. + + Let me be with thee where thou art! + Where none can die, where none remove; + There neither life nor death will part + Me from thy presence and thy love. + +[Illustration] + + + + +Saturday Morning. + + “Who is this that engaged his heart to approach unto me?” + --JER. xxx. 21. + + + This is the day to tune with care + Each unseen chord within: + Would we for Sabbaths well prepare, + To-day we should begin. + + Before the Majesty of Heaven + To-morrow we appear; + No honour half so great is given, + Throughout man’s sojourn here. + + Yet if his heart be not prepared, + His soul not meetly drest, + In vain that honour will be shared,-- + No smile will greet the guest. + + We must beforehand lay aside + Our own polluted dress, + And wear the robe of Jesu’s bride,-- + His spotless righteousness. + + We must forsake this world below, + Forget all earthly things; + Strive with a seraph’s love to glow, + And soar on angel wings. + + The altar must be cleansed to-day, + Meet for the offered Lamb; + The wood in order we must lay, + And wait to-morrow’s flame. + + Lord of the Sacrifice we bring, + To thee our hopes aspire; + Our Prophet, our High-Priest, and King, + Send down the sacred fire. + +[Illustration] + + + + +Saturday Evening. + + “Commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still.” + --PS. iv. 4. + + + Another portion of the span + Assigned to transitory man + Has now for ever flown; + And ere I taste the sweet repose + My heavenly Guardian’s care bestows, + I kneel before his throne. + + God of my life! to thee I pray; + The passing pilgrim of a day, + Soon, soon to sleep in death,-- + Let me not spend unthinkingly, + These moments that so quickly fly, + Shortened by every breath. + + Ere yet that hallowed morn appear, + Given to recruit the soul and cheer-- + Pour down thy light divine; + That while my progress I retrace, + Since last I hailed the day of grace, + Its beams within may shine. + + Oh, has that rapid, ceaseless tide, + Of which the waves so noiseless glide, + Borne me towards heaven, my home; + As surely as each day, each hour, + Has borne me with resistless power, + On to the silent tomb? + + Have my affections soared above? + And has my Saviour’s wondrous love + Constrained me, day by day, + For him to act, to think, to speak? + His glory as my end to seek, + His Spirit to obey? + + Have I his constant influence felt? + And has his holy word so “dwelt + Richly” my heart within, + That outward faults have been subdued, + And inward hidden thoughts renewed, + Cleansed from the taint of sin? + + Lord! if my only answer now + Must be these silent tears that flow, + For days not given to thee; + Still let a holier life begin-- + A life not thus defaced by sin-- + If I to-morrow see. + + Then let thy word its power exert, + To quicken, cleanse, transform my heart, + Within thy house of prayer; + Or if that boon be still denied, + With me in solitude abide, + And make my wants thy care. + + Now let me peacefully lie down, + Cleansed, pardoned, numbered with thine own, + While strengthening sleep is given; + Then let the auspicious Sabbath bring + Peace, gladness, healing on its wing, + And rest like that of heaven! + + + + +_January, 1906._ + + + A SELECTION OF BOOKS PUBLISHED BY CHAS.
