V.-Eefuge.
V .-EEFUGE . " The Lord is our Refuge . "
+ In All Time Of Agony,
_+ In all time of agony ,
And in all tinie of fear , Cry unto Him , and though low thy cry
Yet will He bend His ear : Far up above the bright blue sky ,
Still He is ever near . Mother palethat back hast given
, The baby-gift God gave to thee , Think how the child-priest , vowed to Heaven ,
Dwelling in the Sanctuary , Grew a mighty Prophet , speaking
Words the nations quaked to hear ; So thbabe for ever living
y In the Heavenly Presence clear , May become a glorious angel
"Watching o ' er this poised sphere . Wait awhile , and he will meet thee
When thou seek ' st thy last long home , And with radiant smile shall greet thee
Where Christ bade the children come . Magdalenethat sittest weeping
, _'Neath thy veil of golden liair ; For the wild spring-time of thy revel , reaping
_Now the harvest of despair : Heal thy heart , though it be broken ,
With the gracious message spoken In the Saviour ' s accents sweet
To the crushed worm at his feet . Manwho harassed , baffled , shrinking ,
From , the turmoil and the strife , Wanderest footsore , weary , —sinking
On the rugged road of life . God in Heaven marks thine anguish ,
Sees each struggle , hears each moan , And upon thy pain-wrung forehead
Soon will set a starry crown , When thou hast passed through the grave ' s dark porta
Into the Life of the Immortal .
