"Spirit, cease Thy mournful lay, Leave me to myself, I pray; Earth hath flung her spell around me, Pleasure’s silken chain hath bound me; When the sun his path hath trod, Spirit, then I’ll turn to God!” Hark! borne on the winds is the bell's solemn toll; 'Tis mournfully pealing the knell of a soul-- The Spirit's sweet pleadings and strivings are o'er; The Lord of the vineyard stands waiting no more.

If we knew

Author: Mrs. E. H. Gates Appears in 21 hymnals First Line: If we knew, when walking tho'tless Lyrics: 1 If we knew, when walking tho'tless Thro' the crowded, noisy way, That some pearl of wondrous whiteness Close beside our pathway lay, We would pause, when now we hasten, We would often look around, Lest our careless feet should trample Some rare jewel in the ground. 2 If we knew, when genius struggled Thro' the weary nights and days, Sighing for some word of comfort, Little word of hope and praise; Boughs of palm, and leaves of laurel We would place within their hands, Little deeds with pleasant meanings, Hungry hearts can understand. 3 If we knew, when friends around us Closely press to say "Good-by," Which among the lips that kiss us, First should 'neath the daisies lie, We would throw our arms around them, Looking on them thro' our tears; Tender words of love eternal, We would whisper in their ears. 4 If we knew, alas! and do we Ever care or seek to know, Whether bitter herbs or roses In our neighbor's garden grow? Better far along life's pathway, Keep this golden rule in view, "You should always care for others, As you'd have them care for you." Used With Tune: [If we knew, when walking tho'tless]

Shelter of safety

In the bright realms of bliss, will a dwelling be giv'n, And the soul find a home in the glory of heav'n? Yes, yes, there is a home; There's a home in high heav'n; there the soul has a home. 3 Oh, holy and sweet its rest shall be there! Free from all sin and from sorrow and care; And the loud hallelujahs of angels shall rise, To welcome the soul to its home in the skies. Home, home, home of the soul; The bosom of God is the home of the soul. Used With Tune: [Oh, where can the soul find relief from its woes]
