Grant us, who bow, O Lord, before Thy Sov-'reign face,

To learn with Thee to love our world en circling race.

2 Our Elder Brother to a mortal frame

His God-like glory humbled and became

The fellow of the poor, the sick man's aid,
Defense of weaklings, finder of the strayed.

Grant us to be, O Lord, disciples of His death,

And breathe His love to men through every living breath.

J. W. Lerman, 1908

I. O broth- er man, fold to thy heart thy brother; Where pi ty

dwells, the peace of God is there; To wor-
r-ship rightly is to love each

other,

Each smile a hymn, each kind-ly deed a pray' r. A - MEN.

2 For He whom Jesus loved has truly spoken,-
The holier worship which He deigns to bless
Restores the lost, and binds the spirit broken,
And feeds the widow and the fatherless.

3 Follow with reverent steps the great example

Of Him whose holy work was "doing good;"
So shall the wide earth seem our Father's temple,
Each loving life a psalm of gratitude.
John Greenleaf Whittier

(FRATERNITY)

3 Amidst the troubled, grieving, overborne,
Among the helpless, hopeless and forlorn,
Engirt with ill and poverty and pain,

And bitter strife of greed for empty gain,

Give us, O Lord, the sight with Christly eyes to see
The hidden, soul-deep need of men for us and Thee.

4 With mourners mourning, with the joyful glad;
Partaking of the hope the prophets had;
Confiding in salvation's wide increase;

Foreseeing God's good kingdom come in peace,

Give us, O Lord, the heart, made free from selfish flaw,

To keep toward Thee the first, toward men the second law.

For all hu- man ties that bind me, For the task by God

For the bright hopes left behind me, And the good that I

1. Hark! the voice of Je sus call-ing, "Who will go

and work to - day?

Fields are white and harv-ests wait-ing; Who will

bear the sheaves a- way?''

Loud and long the Master call-eth, Rich re- ward He offers thee;

Who will an-swer, glad -ly say-ing, "Here am I; send me, send me." A-MEN.

2 If you cannot cross the ocean,

And the heathen lands explore, You can find the heathen nearer, You can help them at your door. If you cannot give your thousands, You can give the widow's mite; And the least you give for Jesus

Will be precious in His sight.

3 Let none hear you idly saying,

"There is nothing I can do," While the souls of men are dying,

And the Master calls for you: Take the task He gives you gladly, Let His work your pleasure be; Answer quickly when He calleth, "Here am I; send me, send me." Daniel March, 1868

494 PENTECOST L. M.

William Boyd

1. God of the strong, God of the weak, Lord of all lands, and our own land;

bb4

Light of all souls, from Thee we seek Light from Thy light, strength from Thy hand. A-MEN.

2 In suffering Thou hast made us one,
In mighty burdens one are we;
Teach us that lowliest duty done
Is highest service unto Thee.

3 Teach us great Teacher of mankind,

The sacrifice that brings Thy balm;
The love, the work that bless and bind;
Teach us Thy majesty, Thy calm.

4 Teach Thou, and we shall know, indeed,
The truth divine that maketh free;
And knowing, we may sow the seed
That blossoms through eternity.

W. Smallwood

1. Most gracious Sav-iour! 'twas not Thine To spurn the err- ing from Thy sight;

Nor did Thy smile of love di- vine Turn from the pen-i - tent its light. A-MEN.

2 Shall we who own the Christian name, 3 May we, while human guilt awakes
A brother's fault too sternly view,
Or think Thy holy name can blame
The tear to human frailty due?

Upon our cheek the generous glow, Spare the offender's heart that breaks Beneath its load of shame and woe.
