Part 5

F Far from the friends to me most dear 59 Father of Heaven, Thy guidance we implore 43 “Feed thou My lambs,” the Saviour said 47 Forsake not thou thy father’s friend 111 Forth from the city gate of Nain 95

H Help me, Lord Jesus, to fulfil 71 How beautiful is Nature’s face! 75 How highly blest were those who saw 85 How swiftly flies man’s mortal thread 41

I I bless Thee, Lord, in early spring 69 I cannot see the sunny gleam 23 I dare not raise my guilty eye 21 I do not dare, O holy Lord 15 In daily rounds my constant course I keep 61 In the silence of night when the stars glimmer o’er me 57 In the year that hath passed o’er us 121 I’ve laid the earth above the child 27 I would not take what is not mine, for hoards of wealth untold 53

L “Lord! carest Thou not that we perish!” 88

N Not alone in God’s house, or in seasons of prayer 73 Now in the East Hope’s trembling light 29

O O God of Hosts, our fathers’ God 77

S Souls are perishing before thee 119 Standing upon the awful brink 117

T The awful night hath passed, the day 100 The balmy spring awakes the flowers 35 The day of life is closing 104 The fear of God most high 113 The precious blood of Christ my Lord 11 There is a sword of glittering sheen 32 There were fishermen once by the blue Galilee 45 The Sabbath sun has risen high 55 The stately mansion riseth beneath the builder’s hand 25 The summer blossoms fast decay 13 To whom do I obedience owe 63

W When from the branches’ leafy screen 92 When in our breasts we feel the flame of love 97 When on Zion’s hill we rest 37 When Peter by the miracle 90 When shades of night around him close 16 When verdant fields are seen no more 65 Where is thy new-born Lord, O Judah? Zion—where thy King? 81 Who wisdom’s path forsakes 115 Why dread the future, trembling one 109

POEMS. I dreamed that in the stilly hush of night 153 Life’s deep afflictions not alone demand 136 Proud—and of what! poor vain and helpless worm 149 Through the majestic forest shade 125
