Three simple words! Lord, give us daily strength,
That, hour by hour, throughout our journey's length,
Their lesson still may patiently be learned,
Until "Well done," thy blest reward, is earned.

"REJOICE EVERMORE"
(1 Thess. v. 16)
O struggling soul so faltering,
Let all thy murmurs cease;
Look up and smile, let hope beguile
Till restlessness be peace;
For He thou servest loveth
With an almighty love;
Thine every' prayer invokes the care
Unfailing trust shall prove.

O sorrowing soul, with steadfast gaze,
The bow of promise see;
When love shines through the rifts of blue
All clouds and shadows flee;
The Christ who wept with Mary
Each human grief can feel;
By healing balm He giveth calm,
And doth His love reveal.

O martyr soul, who for His name
Worthy to suffer art,
Now leap for joy, naught can destroy
The peace within thy heart;
Thou sharest with thy Saviour
The cruel crown of thorn;
Gethsemane and Calvary
He for thy sake hath borne.
