1. Courage, brother! do not stum-ble, Tho' thy path be dark as night;

to guide the hum - ble, Trust in God, and do the right.

Tho' the road be long and dreary, And the end be out of sight, Tread it brave-ly,

strong or wea-ry, Trust in God, trust in God, Trust in God, and do the right. A-MEN.

I. O it is hard to work for God, To rise and take His part

Up- on the battle field of earth, And not sometimes lose heart. A-MEN.

He liv-eth long-est who can tell Of liv-ing most for heavenly gain. A - MEN.

Arthur Henry Brown

1. What hast Thou for thy scat-tered seed, O

Sower of

the plain?

Where are the ma ny gathered sheaves Thy hope should bring a

gain?

3

He liveth longest who can tell

Of true things truly done each day.

3

What is the harvest of Thy saints,
O God! Who dost abide?
Where grow the garlands of Thy chiefs
In blood and sorrow dyed?
What have Thy servants for their pains?
This only, to have tried.

Julia Ward Howe

4 Fill up each hour with what will last; Buy up the moments as they go; The life above, when this is past,

Be what thou seemest; live thy creed, 5
Hold up to earth the torch divine:
Be what thou prayest to be made,

Let the great Master's steps be thine.

Is the ripe fruit of life below.

Sow truth if thou the true wouldst reap;

Who sows the false shall reap the vain;
Erect and sound thy conscience keep;
From hollow words and deeds refrain.

6 Sow love, and taste its fruitage pure;
Sow peace, and reap its harvest bright;
Sow sunbeams on the rock and moor,
And find a harvest home of light.

Horatius Bonar

1. How happy is he, born or taught, Who serveth not

Whose ar- mor is his honest thought, And sim- ple truth his high-est skill. AMEN.

Main-tain the hon - or of His word, The glory of His cross. A-MEN.

Ashamed of Thee whom angels praise, Whose glories shine through endless days! A-MEN.

So let our work and vir- tues shine, To prove the doctrine all di vine. A-MEN.
