SWINGING THE CENSER.
93


It is so hard to be trustful,
Trusting for daily bread ;
Only the birds and the angels
Are without storehouse fed.

What if I sin, never knowing ?
Jesu, forgive, I pray;
Mother of Jesu, keep near me,
Dark is the way.
O miserere nobis,
Domine !

CHILD IN THE CHOIR.

Unto us a Child is born,
Unto us a Son is given ;
Wonderful, the Counsellor,
The Prince of Peace.
More than they who watch for morn,
Have the blind and weary striven ;
