THANKSGIVING AFTER COMMUNION.

Je-sus, gentlest Saviour! God of

might and pow'r! Thou Thy-self art

dwelling In us at this hour.

Nature

can-not hold Thee, Heav'n is all too strait

For thine endless glory, And thy roy-al

How the light of Heav'n is steal-ing,

Gently o'er the trembling soul; And the

shades of bitter feeling, From the lighten'd

spi-rit roll. Sweetly stealing, sweetly stealing,

See how grace its

way doth feel.

60-THE EMIGRANT'S SONG.

A-las! o'er Erin's less'ning shores The

flush of day is fading, And coldly round us

- braiding. It tells of those whose pi - ning

love Must cross the seas to find us; And

61-SWEET MOTHER-MAID.

The moon is in the heavens a

-bove, And its light lies on the foamy sea; So

shines the star of Mary's love, O'er this

stor-my scene of mi -se-ry. Our hands to

life's hard work are laid, But our hearts are

thine, sweet Mother-Maid.

62-THE RIGHT MUST WIN

6

O it is hard to work for God, To

rise and take His part, Up on this battle

- field of earth, And some-times not lose

heart! He hides Himself so wondrously, As

though there were no God; He least is

seen when all the pow'rs Of ill are most abroad.

63-DISTRACTIONS IN PRAYER.

Ah! dearest Lord, I cannot pray, My

fancy is not free;

Un-man-ner

- ly distractions come, And force my

thoughts from Thee.
