'Occupy till I come.'--LUKE xix. 13.

'OCCUPY till I return:'
Let us, Lord, this lesson learn;
May our every moment be
Faithfully filled up for Thee.

 

'Be not far from me.'--Ps. xxii. II.

BE not far from me, we pray:
'I am with thee all the day;'
This Thy answer, strong and clear!
Master, Thou art always near.

 

'He is faithful that promised.'--HEB. x. 23.

Thou art faithful; praise Thy name,
Thou art evermore the same;
Thou hast promised; oh, how blest
On Thy royal word to rest!

 

'He that winneth souls is wise.'--PROV. xi. 30.

'HE that winneth souls is wise'
In the Master's gracious eyes;
Well may we contented be
To be counted fools for Thee.

 

'Redeeming the time.'--COL.iv.5.

So may we redeem the time,
That with every evening chime
Our rejoicing hearts may see
Blood-bought souls brought back to Thee.

 

Lay up His words in thine heart.'--JOB xxii. 22.

LET us, by Thy Spirit stirred,
In our hearts lay up Thy word.
Daily, Lord, increase our store,
Fill our treasures more and more.
