"Thy will be done"

Father, forgive me, that I could believeMan in Thy likeness met me to deceive;That I was prone to see my brother's illAs real, as his, and he Thy image still!

A Prayer—Before Our Lectures

O Life! Athirst for Thee earth's children come,The maimed, the halt, the blind, the deaf, the dumb;And Thy pure Word is here for all to-day,Not one who hears, need empty go away;Ne'er shall Thy Word be spoken, Lord, in vain;It shall accomplish, time and time again.

Peace

O SILENT Father! How I once did longFor quiet places where the clashing hasteOf men had never dinned; where hills reached upTo touch the cooling sky, the cattle lowedDistant, in calming, muffled tones; where sangThe thrushes with their single, mellow note,And grasses humbly whispered in the winds!
