"Leave off from wrath, and let go displeasure." Ps. xxxvii. 8.

DIG

IG channels for the streams of Love,
Where they may broadly run;

For Love has overflowing streams

To fill them every one.

But if at any time thou cease,
Such channels to provide,
The very founts of Love for thee
Will soon be parch'd and dried.

For we must share, if we would keep
That good thing from above;
Ceasing to give, we cease to have-
Such is the law of Love.

"Leave thy fatherless children, I will preserve them alive, and let thy widows trust in Me."

Jer. xlix. 11.

OH may Thy hand be with us still,

Our guide and guardian be,

To keep us safe from every ill,

Till death shall set us free.

Help us on Thee to cast our care,

And on Thy word to rest,

That Israel's God, who heareth prayer,

Will grant us our request.

"Let all those that seek Thee, be joyful and glad in Thee."-Ps. xl. 16; lxx. 4.

I'VE found a joy in sorrow,
A secret balm for pain;

A beautiful to-morrow

Of sunshine after rain.
I've found a branch of healing
Near every bitter spring;
A whisper'd promise stealing
O'er every broken string.
An Elim, with its coolness,

Its fountains and its shade!
A blessing in its fulness,
When buds of promise fade!
My Saviour! Thee possessing,
I have the joy, the balm,
The healing, and the blessing,
The sunshine, and the psalm.

"Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord."-Ps. cl. 6.

NOTHING fair on earth I see,

But I straightway think of Thee;
When the golden sun forth goes,
And the east before him glows,
Quickly turns this heart of mine
To Thy heavenly form divine.
On Thy light I think at morn,
With the earliest break of dawn;
Ah! what glories lie in Thee,
Light of all eternity!

Angelus.
