From His lighthouse ever more.
But to us He gives the keeping
Of the lights along the shore.
CHO.--
Let the lower lights be burning!
Send a gleam across the wave!
Some poor fainting struggling seaman
You may rescue, you may save.
Dark the night of sin has settled,
Loud and angry billows roar;
Eager eye's are watching, longing,
For the lights along the shore.--Cho.
Trim your feeble lamp, my brother;
Some poor seaman tempest-tost,
Trying now to make the harbor,
In the darkness may be lost.--Cho.

"More to Follow."
Rowland Hill tells a good story of a rich man and a poor man in his
congregation. The rich man desired to do an act of benevolence, and so
he sent a sum of money to a friend to be given to this poor man as he
thought best. The friend, just sent him five pounds, and said in the
note: "This is thine; use it wisely; there is more to follow." After a
while he sent another five pounds and said, "more to follow." Again and
again, he sent the money to the poor man, always with the cheering
words, "more to follow." So it is with the wonderful grace of God. There
is always "more to follow."
Have you on the Lord believed?
Still there's more to follow;
Of His grace have you received?
Still there's more to follow;
Oh, the grace the Father shows!
Still there's more to follow,
Freely He His grace bestows,
Still there's more to follow.
CHO.--
More and more, more and more,
Always more to follow,
Oh, his boundless matchless love!
Still there's more to follow.
Have you felt the Saviour near?
Still there's more to follow;
Does His blessed presence, cheer?
Still there's more to follow;
Oh, the love that Jesus shows!
Still there's more to follow,
Freely He His love bestows,
Still there's more to follow.--Cho.
Have you felt the spirit's power?
Still there's more to follow;
Falling like the gentle shower?
Still there's more to follow;
Oh, the power the spirit shows!
Still there's more to follow,
Freely He His power bestows,
Still there's more to follow.--Cho.

"Pull for the Shore, Sailor."
A vessel was wrecked off the shore. Eager eyes were watching and strong
arms manned the life-boat. For hours they tried to reach that vessel
