443.

"We know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of
God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens."

WHEN on my day of life the night is falling,
And, in the winds from unsunned spaces
blown,

I hear far voices out of darkness calling
My feet to paths unknown,

Thou, who hast made my home of life so pleasant,

I have but thee, my Father! let thy spirit

Be with me then to comfort and uphold; No gate of pearl, no branch of palm I merit, Nor street of shining gold.

[ocr errors]

Suffice it if my good and ill unreckoned, And both forgiven through thy abounding grace

Leave not its tenant when its walls decay; I find myself by hands familiar beckoned O Love Divine, O Helper ever present,

Be thou my strength and stay!

Be near me when all else is from me drifting:
Earth, sky, home's pictures, days of shade

and shine,

And kindly faces to my own uplifting
The love which answers mine.

Unto my fitting place.

PILGRIMS. 11.10: 11.10: 5.4: 5.6.

HENRY SMART.

Onward we go, for still we hear them singing,
"Come, weary souls, for Jesus bids you come;"
And through the dark, its echoes sweetly ringing,
The music of the Gospel leads us home.
Angels of gladness, etc.

Far, far away, like bells at evening pealing,
The voice of Jesus sounds o'er land and sea,
And laden souls by thousands meekly stealing,
Kind Shepherd, turn their weary steps to thee.
Angels of gladness, etc.

Rest comes at length, though life be long and dreary,
The day must dawn, and darksome night be past;

All journeys end in welcome to the weary,

And heaven, the heart's true home, will come at last.
Angels of gladness, etc.

Frederick William Faber.t
