Master, to do great work for Thee
Mild offspring of a dark and sullen sire!
Motionless torrents! silent cataracts!

My fairest child, I have no song to give you
My life, which was so straight and plain.
My mother bore me in the southern wild
My sins and follies, Lord, by Thee
My soul was filled with a sadness

[ocr errors]

Naked on parent's knees, a new-born child
Nauhaught, the Indian deacon

Near yonder copse, where once the garden smiled .

No abbey's gloom, nor dark cathedral stoops .
No flower will come to splendor

[ocr errors]

Not a sparrow falleth, but its God doth know.
Now the day is over

[ocr errors]

O, ask not, hope thou not, too much

O come to the merciful Saviour who calls you
O Constellations of the early night.
O'er waves that murmur ever nigh

[ocr errors]

O Friends! with whom my feet have trod
Oft have I walked these woodland paths.
Oft I remember those whom I have known
O gather, gather! Stand

O happy glow! O sun-bathed tree! .

O happy house! where Thou art loved the best

Oh how the thought of God attracts

Oh winter! ruler of the inverted year

O lark! sweet lark! .

O little town of Bethlehem

O Love Divine, that stooped to share

O Maker of sweet poets!

O silence deep and strange

O Thou bright and beautiful day

O Thou, by long experience tried

O Thou, great Friend to all the sons of men

O Thou who dry'st the mourner's tear!
Our little systems have their day

Over my window the ivy climbs

Over the mountain wave

[ocr errors]

O where will be the birds that sing

O, why should the spirit of mortal be proud?
Peace, troubled heart!

Press on

there 's no such word as fail

Red roses need not tell us

Remember Him, the only One.
Rise! for the day is passing

Said an ancient hermit, bending
"Serve God and be cheerful"

She doeth little kindnesses

She stood breast high amid the corn
Sing, children, sing!

Sleep, sleep to-day, tormenting cares
Slowly, slowly up the wall

So here hath been dawning

.

Some hearts go hungering through the world

Some murmur when their sky is clear

[ocr errors]

Something new for Easter! Something new to wear!

Songs of praise the angels sang

Songster of the russet coat

Souls of men, why will ye scatter

Speak low! tread softly through these halls
Still, still with Thee.

Still young and fine, but what is still in view.
Sweet bird! that sing'st away the early hours
Sweet is the scene when virtue dies!

Take my life, and let it be

[ocr errors]

Take my soul and body's powers

That which weeping ones were saying

The ceaseless hum of men

The chimes, the chimes of Motherland
The curfew tolls the knell of parting day
The day is ended. Ere I sink to sleep
Thee first and last, my God, my King
The farmer's wife sat at the door

The groves were God's first temples

There's a wedding in the orchard, dear.

The Sabbath day has reached its close
The shadows of the evening hours
The spacious firmament on high
The starry skies, they rest my soul
The stormy March is come at last
The sun of life has crossed the line.

The woman singeth at her spinning-wheel
The works of man are always incomplete

They are always together, the Master and she
The year 's at the spring.

Thou art, O God! the life and light

Thou Grace Divine, encircling all

Thou must be true thyself

Thou, who dost feel Life's vessel strand .

[ocr errors]

Three little words, but full of sweetest meaning
Throw your banner "In His Name "
Time rolls his ceaseless course.
"T is gone, that bright and orbèd blaze
'T is heaven alone that is given away
To Heaven's high city I direct my journey
To-morrow, dear sister, to-morrow we part
Touched by a light that hath no name
True worth is in being, not seeming
'T was hard to sing by Babel's stream
Two angels came and spoke to me

Up in the wild, where no one comes to look
We are up and away.

What wilt thou do with the year

Weary of myself, and sick of asking

We knew it would rain

[ocr errors][merged small]

When beechen buds begin to swell

Whene'er a noble deed is wrought .
When I consider how my light is spent
When I shall go where my Redeemer is
When Israel, of the Lord beloved

[merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][ocr errors][merged small][merged small][merged small]

When marshall'd on the nightly plain

When on my ear your loss was knelled

When thou hast thanked thy God for every blessing

sent

Wherefore fallest thou

Where lies the land to which the ship would go?

Whilst Thee I seek, protecting Power

Whither, 'midst falling dew

Who finds a woman good and wise.

Why thus longing, thus forever sighing
Within the midnight of her hair
Ye golden lamps of heaven, farewell
