MISCELLANEOUS WRITINGS
I will listen for Thy voice,
 Lest my footsteps stray;
I will follow and rejoice
 All the rugged way.
 
Thou wilt bind the stubborn will,
 Wound the callous breast,
Make self-righteousness be still,
 Break earth's stupid rest.
Strangers on a barren shore,
 Lab'ring long and lone,
We would enter by the door,
 And Thou know'st Thine own;
 
So, when day grows dark and cold,
 Tear or triumph harms,
Lead Thy lambkins to the fold,
 Take them in Thine arms;
Feed the hungry, heal the heart,
 Till the morning's beam;
White as wool, ere they depart,
 Shepherd, wash them clean.



Communion Hymn

Saw ye my Saviour? Heard ye the glad sound?
Felt ye the power of the Word?
'T was the Truth that made us free,
And was found by you and me
In the life and the love of our Lord.
