CHRISTHIAS REFLECTION.

Within my heart is Christ the first, the last!
Do others Him displacei
Do on Him my heavy burdens cast
And seek His strength'n ng grace:
What other friend for me so much has done:
What one should be so dear'
He died for me-the all glorious One
His love is plain and clear.
Perchance, friend for friend may life resign,
Such friendship though is rare;
But Jesus for his foes, o Saviour mine,
Did death and sorrow share.
And then ascending to his throne above,
He sends His spirit down,
And gives to all who own His wondrous love,
An Everlasting crown
lie loves me, though must to Him appear
So very weak and vile;
He loves me, wipes away each falling tear,
And cheers me with His smiles.
What can do for Him. the crucifed,
Who on me has such clsims'
hear, "All ye who would in me abide
Go, now, and feed my lambs
To the sick, the wretched, the poor and sad,
Go make your off'rings free,
His gracious promises then shall make you glad
"Yeve done 1t unto me"
