"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.

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.

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.
