waste, Weary pilgrim! hither haste. 3 Ye who, tossed on beds of pain, Seek for ease, and seek in vain; Ye whose swoln and sleepless eyes Watch to see the morning rise; 4 Ye, by fiercer anguish torn, In remorse for guilt who mourn, Here repose your heavy care; Who the stings of sin can bear? 5 Sufferer! come, for here is found Balm that flows for every wound; Peace that ever shall endure, Rest eternal, sacred, sure. 122. C. M. Gaskell. Spirit of Jesus. 1 O, not to crush with abject fear The burdened soul of man Did Jesus on the earth appear, And open heaven's high plan: He came to bid him find repose, And God his Father know; And thus with love to raise up those That once were bowed low. 2 O, not in coldness nor in pride His holy path he trod; 'Twas his delight to turn aside And win the lost to God; And unto sorrowing guilt disclose The fount whence peace should flow; And thus with love to raise up those That once were bowed low. 3 O, not with cold, unfeeling eye Did he the suffering view; Not on the other side pass by, And deem their tears untrue; 'Twas joy to him to heal their woes, And heaven's sweet refuge show; And thus with love to raise up those That once were bowed low. 123.

L. M. A. C. Coxe. Divine Beauty of Christ's Character. 1 How beauteous were the marks divine,
