THE WAYSIDE WATCHER.
By still waters He will lead you,
In green pastures you shall rest;
And the pierced hands that freed you
Bear you on His tender breast.
In green pastures you shall rest;
And the pierced hands that freed you
Bear you on His tender breast.
Come, oh, come this day, and try it;
Jesus' words are proved and true:
Take His gift; you cannot buy it;
He hath waited long for you.
Jesus' words are proved and true:
Take His gift; you cannot buy it;
He hath waited long for you.
THE WAYSIDE WATCHER.
'Thou shalt know that I am the Lord; for they shall not be ashamed that wait for Me."—Isa. xlix. 23.
"All day long you sit here idle,
And the Master at the door!
The fields are white to harvest,
And the day is almost o'er.
You are dreaming! you are dreaming!
Time is gliding fast away;
See! the eventide is waning,
Soon shall break eternal day."
And the Master at the door!
The fields are white to harvest,
And the day is almost o'er.
You are dreaming! you are dreaming!
Time is gliding fast away;
See! the eventide is waning,
Soon shall break eternal day."
"Brother, my hand is feeble,
My strength is well-nigh spent:
I saw you all at noon-day,
And I marked the way ye went.
My strength is well-nigh spent:
I saw you all at noon-day,
And I marked the way ye went.
