2 The Friend of our need, the hope of the world,
Abides with us still as of old;

When wandering far in sorrow and sin,

He leadeth us home to the fold.

2 We look to Thee; Thy truth is still the light
Which guides the nations, groping on their way,
Stumbling and falling in disastrous night,

Yet hoping ever for the perfect day.

3 Yes, Thou art still the life; Thou art the way
The holiest know,-light, life, and way of heaven;
And they who dearest hope and deepest pray

Toil by the light, life, way, which Thou hast given.

Theodore Parker, 1846

(ELSA)

3 O Lord of the sea, Who once walked abroad
On treacherous waves of the tide,

We know that Thy strong and pitying arms,
Our wavering footsteps still guide.

4 Thou art not afar in regions unknown,
Our faith reacheth up unto Thee;

And still, through the mists of ages long past,
The Saviour of sinners doth see.

A-bove the noise of self-ish strife, We hear Thy voice, O Son of man.

3 The cup of water given for Thee Still holds the freshness of Thy grace; Yet long these multitudes to see

4 From tender childhood's helplessness,
From woman's grief, man's burdened
toil,

From famished souls, from sorrow's stress,
Thy heart has never known recoil.

4 When shadows of the valley fall,
When sin and death the soul appal,
One light we through the darkness

see,

Christ on the Cross
We cry to Thee.

5 And when the world shall pass away,
And dawns at length the perfect day,
In glory shall our souls made free,
Thou God enthroned,
Then worship Thee.

Tudor Jenks

5 O Master, from the mountain side, Make haste to heal these hearts of

pain,
Among these restless throngs abide,
O tread the city's streets again.

6 Till sons of men shall learn Thy love
And follow where Thy feet have trod;
Till glorious from Thy heaven above
Shall come the city of our God.
