"BE NOT WEARY"
Why weariest thou?
For not far spent the day as yet!
Why linger then with vain regret,
With furrowed brow and lashes wet?
Ah! hearken now.
For not far spent the day as yet!
Why linger then with vain regret,
With furrowed brow and lashes wet?
Ah! hearken now.
In due time thou
A harvest rich shalt surely reap;
And though the path be rough and steep
His angels charge o'er thee shall keep;
Take courage now.

And though the path be rough and steep
His angels charge o'er thee shall keep;
Take courage now.
Faint still art thou?
Nay, Faith the shadows shall dispell;
With Christ for guide all will be well,
And peace the calm of heaven foretell,
Yea, even now.

REPROOF
Art thou Christ's disciple?
Patient be;
'Tis perchance what's needed
Most by thee;
Though thy heart it grieveth sore
Strive more earnest than before.
Patient be;
'Tis perchance what's needed
Most by thee;
Though thy heart it grieveth sore
Strive more earnest than before.
Through the tones that chide thee
Hear His voice;
'Twixt the good and evil
Make thy choice;
Though thy self-love wounded be
Win by meekness victory.
