LOOKING TO JESUS.

THOU, to our woe who down didst come,
Who one with us wouldst be,
Wilt lift us to Thy Heavenly home,
Wilt make us one with Thee.

Our earthly garments Thou hast worn,
And we Thy robes shall wear!

Our mortal burdens Thou hast borne,
And we Thy bliss may bear!

O mighty grace, our life to live,
To make our earth divine;

O mighty grace! Thy Heaven to give,
And lift our Life to Thine!

O strange the gifts and marvellous,
By Thee received and given !

Thou tookest woe and death from us,

And we receive Thy Heaven!

T. H. GILL.

The Saviour of All.

We trust in the living God who is the Saviour of all men, especially of those that believe.-1 Timothy, iv. 10.

"SAVIOUR of all "

-on that we lean

Who shall our trust gainsay?

What earth-born cloud shall intervene
To hide that heavenly ray?

Not to this life, redeeming grace
Is partially confined;

It knoweth neither time nor place,
And visits every mind.

The Saviour is a Saviour still

Through being's endless scope;

Winning the soul from woe and ill,

Never withholding hope.

And though the present aye must be

The true, th' accepted hour, We cannot from His mercy flee,

His sin-subduing power.

Then in the living God we'll trust,
Who doeth all things well;

The body shall return to dust,
The soul in heaven shall dwell.
