2 Love thyself last. Look far, and find the stranger
Who staggers 'neath his sin and his despair;
Go lend a hand and lead him out of danger,
To heights where he may see the world is fair.

3 Love thyself last. The vastnesses above thee
Are filled with spirit forces, strong and pure.
And fervently these faithful friends shall love thee,
Keep thy watch over others, and endure.

(CANONBURY)

4 O teach me, Lord, that I may teach

The precious things thou dost impart; And wing my words, that they may reach

The hidden depths of many a heart.

5 O give Thine own sweet rest to me,
That I may speak with soothing
power

A word in season, as from Thee,
To weary ones in needful hour.

Anon.

6 O fill me with Thy fulness, Lord,
Until my very heart o'erflow
In kindling thought and glowing
word,

Thy love to tell, Thy praise to show.

7 O use me, Lord, use even me,
Just as Thou wilt, and when, and
where;

Until thy blessed face I see,

Thy rest, Thy joy, Thy glory share.

Frances R. Havergal, 1872

9:

With Jesus as your fellow, To Jesus as your head:

2 O happy, if ye labor

As Jesus did for men;
O happy, if ye hunger
As Jesus hungered then.

A-MEN.

3 The Cross that Jesus carried,
He carried as your due;
The crown that Jesus weareth,
He weareth it for you.

Let the naked feet be shod, And the starv - ing fed.

A-MEN.

2 Let Thy children, by Thy grace, Give as they abound,

Till the poor have breathing-space,
And the lost are found.

3 Wiser than the miser's hoards
Is the giver's choice;

Sweeter than the song of birds
Is the thankful voice.

4 Welcome smiles on faces sad,
As the flowers of spring;
Let the tender hearts be glad
With the joy they bring.

John Greenleaf Whittier, 1878

All that we have is Thine alone, A trust, O Lord, from Thee. A-MEN.

2 May we Thy bounties thus

As stewards true receive,
And gladly, as Thou blessest us,
To Thee our first-fruits give.

3 To comfort and to bless,

To find a balm for woe,

To tend the lone and fatherless
Is angels' work below.

4 The captive to release,

To God the lost to bring,

To teach the way of life and peace,
It is a Christ-like thing.

5 And we believe Thy word,

Though dim our faith may be; Whate'er for Thine we do, O Lord,

We do it unto Thee.

William Walsham How, 1858 Ethelbert W. Bullinger, 1877
