will my Father honor. John xii:26.
Have ye looked for sheep in the desert,
For those who have missed their way?
Where the lost and wandering stray?
Have ye been in the wild waste places,
Where ye trodden, the lonely highway
The foul and the darksome street?
1t may be ye'd see in the gloaming
The print of my wounded feet.
Have We folded home to your bosom
The trembling neglected, lamb,
And taught to the little lost one
The sound of the Shepherds s manner
Have ye searched for the poor and needy
With no clothing, no home, no bread?
The Son of Man was among them
He had nowhere TO lay his head.
Have ye carried the living water,
To the parched and thirsty soul?
Have We said to the sick and wounded,
Christ Jesus makes thee whole"
Have we told my fainting children
OF the strength of the Fathers hand?
Have ye guided the tottering footsteps
To the shore of the golden land?''
Have we stood by the sad and weary,
To smooth the pillow of death,
To comfort the sorrow-stricken,
And strengthen the feeble faith?
And have ye felt, when the glory
Has streamed through the open door
And fitted across the shadows.
That l had been there before?
Have We wept with the broken-hearted
In their agony of vosf
You might hear me whispering beside
"'Tis the pathway I often CO."
My brethren, my friend, my disciples,
Can We dare to follow me?
Then. wherever the Master dwelleth

the 17th century, part of it in 1919 and
the New Testament section in the
following year. 1t was rebound in the
year 1870, so that the original bind
