Like Paul. hast thou
Served God with all humility OF
mind
Dwelling among US. and with many
tears"
From house to house" by night and
day not ceasing"
Hast pleaded thy bIest errand
The Sabbath bell, so long
Link'd with thy voice-the prelude 10
thy PRAYER
The call TO US from heaven TO come
with thee
Into the house of God, and from thy
lips,
Hear what had falrn upon thy heart
Will souDd
Lonely and m~curnfully now that thou
art gone,
Our prayers were in thy words-our
hope in Christ
Warm'd on thy lips-our dar6ling
thoughts OF God
Foilow'd thy loved call upward-and
so knit
Was all our worship with those out
spread hands.
And the i'm ploring voice, which, well
we knew.
Sank in the ear OF Jesus-that, with
thee,
The angels ladder seems removed
from sight
And we astray in without
thy leadership
