"
"Did I murmur that the rod
Was so heavy, O my God?
I forgot the cursed tree,
I forgot Gethsemane,
I forgot the grief and pain--
May I ne'er forget again."
"Unworthy, wretched as I am
I hope for mercy through the Lamb:
His name, his glorious name prevails
When every other passport fails;
It opens Heaven's eternal gate;
Then, doubting soul, why longer wait?"
"Sabbath after Sabbath comes;
When will dawn the endless day?
Swiftly roll the wheels of time,
Swiftly pass the hours away;
Brighter and brighter from afar
View we now 'the Morning Star.'"
"And we, alas! are called to part:
'Farewell' is said, with aching heart;
But God will watch o'er thee I ween,
And guide thee through each trying scene,
My dearest sister Josephine!"
"The glorious sun--
His race has run,
And sweetly sought repose:
O that for me
This life might be
As bright--as calm its close!"
"What an awful peal of thunder!
O my soul, be still and wonder;
Yet another, and another--
Each one louder than the other;
God of heaven, I _see_ thy power,
May I _feel_ it hour by hour."
"A thousand twinkling stars to-night
Look down with soft and silvery light
And tell the majesty divine
Of Him who gives them leave to shine.
