ove. 295. C. M. Anonymous. Words and Deeds. 1 Beneath the thick but struggling clouds, We talk of Christian life; The words of Jesus on our lips, Our hearts with man at strife. 2 Traditions, forms, and selfish aims, Have dimmed the inner light; Have closely veiled the spirit-world And angels from our sight. 3 Strong souls and willing hands we need, Our temple to repair; Remove the gathering dust of years, And show the model fair. 4 We slumber while the present calls, But darkness grows with rest; Wouldst thou see truth?
