Shepherd , Thou hear'st us when we call to Thee,Tossed on the billows of an angry sea,And from the darkness of a hopeless night,Thou lead'st us gently to Thy glorious Light.

Poem

Abide in Me

Anon

When darkness for a season seemsTo hide the light whose steady beamsAre shining still, though not a rayIs seen, and help seems far away,When loneliness and doubt besetOur faith, and life becomes regret,Then, dear friend, know that in this hourOur God is near, and with His powerHis mighty hand with loving sweepRolls back the memories that weepUntil the "still, small voice" that saidIn olden time, "Be not afraid,"Is heard again, and speaks to thee,"Thou art my child, abide in Me.

Barberries

Thomas Bailey Aldrich

In scarlet clusters o'er the gray stone wallThe barberries lean in thin autumnal air;Just when the fields and garden plots are bare,And ere the green leaf takes the tint of fall,They come to make the eye a festival!Along the road for miles their torches flare.
