ALPHA AND OMEGA.
Never a watch on the dreariest halt,
But some promise of love endears;
I read from the past my future shall be
Far better than all my fears.
Like the golden pot of the wilderness bread,
Laid up with the blossoming rod,
All safe in the ark with the Law of the Lord,
Is the covenant care of my God.

"I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely."—Rev. xxi. 6.
O lamb of God, I know that Thou art here!
Close as my clasping hands—nay, yet more near;
And every sigh enters Thy gracious ear.
I ask to see
More of Thyself, Lord Jesus; more of Thee.
Close as my clasping hands—nay, yet more near;
And every sigh enters Thy gracious ear.
I ask to see
More of Thyself, Lord Jesus; more of Thee.
Give me to walk with girded garments white;
The understanding heart, to read aright
Thy Word; Thy law, Thy will, my soul's delight,
That I may be
More like Thyself, Lord Jesus; more like Thee.
The understanding heart, to read aright
Thy Word; Thy law, Thy will, my soul's delight,
That I may be
More like Thyself, Lord Jesus; more like Thee.
Grant me Thy Spirit's might to bring the blind
To Thy dear feet, Thy light and peace to find,
To Thy dear feet, Thy light and peace to find,
