348 ALDRICH L. M.

Charles Harford Lloyd

1. Strong Son of God, im- mor- tal Love, Whom we, that have not seen Thy face,

9:3 564

By faith, and faith a-lone, embrace, Be-liev-ing where we can-not prove; A-MEN.

2 Thou wilt not leave us in the dust:
Thou madest man, he knows not why;
He thinks he was not made to die:
And Thou hast made him: Thou art just.

3 Thou seemest human and divine,

The highest, holiest manhood, Thou:
Our wills are ours, we know not how;
Our wills are ours, to make them Thine.

4 Our little systems have their day;

5

They have their day and cease to be;
They are but broken lights of Thee,
And Thou, O Lord, art more than they.

We have but faith: we cannot know,
For knowledge is of things we see;
And yet we trust it comes from Thee,
A beam in darkness: let it grow.

6 Let knowledge grow from more to more,
But more of reverence in us dwell;
That mind and soul, according well,
May make one music as before.

1. Now I re-solve with all my heart, With all my pow'rs, to serve the Lord;

Charles E. Kettle, 1876

1. O Master, Brother, Lord and Friend! Most hu - man - ly

di - vine,

In whom all mor tal virtues blend, All heav'n-ly

graces shine;

Such king-li- ness and kind-ness meet

And mingle in Thy face,

b

We lay our hom-age at Thy feet, And trust Thy truth and grace.

2 Help us to prove, as we profess,
Our fellowship with Thee,

To manifest the loveliness
Which in Thy life we see.
Thy gentleness to us impart,
Thy purity bestow;

The rest and peace of Thy meek heart
O let our spirits know.

3 And ever, as our need may be,
Supply, correct, forgive;

That we may live to learn of Thee,
And learn of Thee to live.
Touch every cloud with holy light,
Through days and years to come;
Make sorrow sweet and darkness bright,
And lead us gently home.

Edwin P. Parker, 1903

2 I love Thee, because Thou hast first loved me,
And purchased my pardon, on Calvary's tree;
I love Thee for wearing the thorns on Thy brow;
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus 'tis now.

3 I will love Thee in life, I will love Thee in death,
And praise Thee as long as Thou lendest me breath;
And say when the death-dew lies cold on my brow,
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.

4 In mansions of glory and endless delight;
I'll ever adore Thee in heaven so bright;
I'll sing with the glittering crown on my brow,
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.

Anon.
