OUR KNIGHT

ADA J. MILLER.

O Tend'Rest Love, that guides the stumbling feet,And keepest them in paths where Thou dost bide;I cannot stray beyond Thy watchful care,But always 'neath Thy shelt'ring wing may hide.

THE LIGHT

When Love along our pathway leads, We take no thought for daily needs,— But stroll along in pastures green Which hitherto we have not seen; And tho' the day turns into night, Love leads us onward toward the light.
