184 ST. MATTHIAS L. M. 61.

1. Ye fair green hills of Gal i lee, That gir - dle qui et

4

Nazareth,

What glo-rious vision did ye see, When He who con-quered sin and death

Your flow' ry slopes and summits trod, And grew in grace with man and God. A-MEN.

2 We saw no glory crown His head
As childhood ripened into youth,

No angels on His errands sped,

He wrought no sign: but meekness, truth,
And duty marked each step He trod;
And love to man, and love to God.

3 Jesus, my Saviour, Master, King,

Who didst for me the burden bear,
While saints in heaven Thy glory sing,
Let me on earth Thy likeness wear:
Mine be the path Thy feet have trod;
Duty and love to man and God.

Josiah Conder, 1887

1. O holy Lord, con- tent to fill In lowly home the low-liest place;

9:3

Thy childhood's law, a mother's will; O-bedience meek, Thy brightest grace, A-MEN.

9:5

1616

2 Lead every child that bears Thy name 3
To walk in Thine own guileless way;
To dread the touch of sin and shame,
And humbly, like Thyself, obey.

186 ALBANO C. M.

So shall we, waiting here below,
Like Thee, our Lord, a little span,
In wisdom and in stature grow,

And favor with both God and man.

1. O happy pair of Naz a reth, Who saw the early light

4

Of Him who dawned up- on the world As dawns the day on night. A-MEN.

2 Within their home they saw the Child 4 At home and in the playground throng, Who lived in perfect love,

A love like that which rules the heart
Of the great God above.

They saw these heavenly ways,
And grew increasingly to speak
With words of reverent praise.

Revealed itself from heaven;

3 The way He bore His youthful cross, 5 That simple, lovely, wondrous life
The reasons for His tears,
The kind of things which gave Him joy;
Unchanged through growing years.

148

He was the Child that should be born,
The Son that should be given.

B. Waugh

the Spirit good Brought Him to that sore distress:

For the people whom He loved Dark temptations Him be- fell;

But His ver - y weak-ness proved Might-ier than the pow'rs of hell. A-MEN.

1. For ty days and for ty nights Thou wast fast - ing in

Forty days and for - ty nights Tempt-ed, and yet un - de - filed. A-MEN.

1. Fierce raged the tem-pest o'er the deep, Watch did Thine anxious servants keep,

But Thou wast wrapped in guile-less sleep, Calm and still.

Of the life of One Who came, Bear - ing grief, re-proach and shame,

Sav-iour of the world to be; "God with us" by Gal - i - lee.
