1511
The radiant morn hath passed away,
And spent too soon her golden store ;
The shadows of departing day

Creep on once more.
life is but a fading dawn,
Its glorious noon, how quickly past !
Lead us, O CHRIST, when all is gone,

Safe home at last,
Where saints are clothed in spotless white,
And evening shadows never fall,
Where Thou, Eternal Light of Light,
Art LORD of all.

*O GOD of Saints, to Thee we cry;
O SAVIOUR, plead for us on high ;
O Holy Ghost, our Guide and Friend,
Grant us Thy grace till life shall end;
That with all Saints our rest may be
In that bright Paradise with Thee. Amen."

1526
Art thou weary, art thou languid,

Art thou sore distrest ?
“Come to Me,” saith One," and coming,

Be at rest.”
Hath He marks to lead me to Him,

If He be my Guide ?
In His Feet and Hands are Wound-prints,

And His Side.”
Hath He diadem as Monarch

That His brow adorns ?
“ Yea, a Crown, in very surety,

But of Thorns."
If I find Him, if I follow,

What His guerdon here?
Many a sorrow, many a labour,

Many a tear."
If I still hold closely to Him,

What hath He at last ?
“Sorrow vanquished, labour ended,

Jordan past.”
If I ask Him to receive me,

Will He say me nay?
“ Not till earth, and not till heaven

Pass away

Finding, following, keeping, struggling,

Is He sure to bless ?
Angels, Martyrs, Prophets, Virgins,
Answer, Yes!”

Come unto Christ, ye mourners,

And He will give you rest;
Come with your sins and sorrows

To His all-pitying breast.
Come to the arms that love you,

Out-stretched upon the Cross,
Come to the patient Saviour,

That knows your grief and loss.
Behold Him gently knocking

Without the fast-closed door ;
Have ye no word of welcome,

And must He knock no more?
O come and open quickly,

Before He turn away;
And through the doorway streaming

Shall shine the light of day.
Come unto Christ, ye mourners,

And find in Him your peace;
For He is consolation,

And He has sure release.
