up and doing ' in my early days." He adds: "I do not know whether this comes in the category of hymns, but if it does not, it ought to." The Rev. Samuel Longfellow, brother of Henry, wrote several hymns which the Rev. Minot J. Savage says the Unitarians in the United States find exceedingly helpful. 66 120-GOETHE'S OHNE HAST UND OHNE RAST." GOETHE'S hymn I have taken from "Hymns and Anthems" used at the South Place Chapel. I would have liked to include the verses which Mr. Morley said came nearer expressing his ultimate thought than anything else, but I could not drag them even into my very wide net. So I content myself with this. WITHOUT haste and without rest: WITHOU Bind the motto to thy breast, Bear it with thee as a spell; Storm or sunshine, guard it well! Heed not flowers that round thee bloom; Bear it onward to the tomb! Haste not let no thoughtless deed Mar the spirit's steady speed; Rest not-life is sweeping by, When these forms have passed away. Haste not rest not, calm in strife Meekly bear the storms of life ; Do the right whate'er betide; God shall crown thy work at last! 121-WORKMAN OF GOD, O LOSE NOT HEART. THIS another contribution of Faber's to the hymnody of the Church Universal - is "As lofty as the love of God, and wide as are the wants of men." WORKMAN of God, O lose not heart, But learn what God is like; And in the darkest battle-field Thrice blest is he to whom is given That God is on the field when He Blest too is he who can divine And dares to take the side that seems God's glory is a wondrous thing, And, of all things on earth, least like Muse on His justice, downcast soul, Back with thine angel to the field, And bravely do thy part. For right is right, since God is God; 122-WORK, FOR THE NIGHT IS COMING. YEARS ago, when the Darlington School Board was wrestling with the religious difficulties, a local disciple of Mr. Bradlaugh subjected Sankey's hymns to a critical examination, with the result that this hymn," Work, for the night is coming," was declared to be the only hymn in the book that could be used in the Board Schools without giving offence to the Secularist conscience. JORK, for the night is coming! Work through the morning hours; Work, for the night is coming, Something to keep in store: When man works no more. Work, for the night is coming, While their bright tints are glowing Work till the last beam fadeth, TUNE FROM "SONGS AND SOLOS." 123-COURAGE, BROTHER! DO NOT STUMBLE. THIS cheery marching song by the late Dr. Norman Macleod has a lilt and a go in it which are quite sufficient to explain its popularity. It is also free from any objection as to sectarian bias. COU OURAGE, brother! do not stumble, Let the road be rough and dreary, Perish policy and cunning, Perish all that fears the light! Trust no party, sect, or faction; Trust in God, and do the right. Trust no lovely forms of passion, Simple rule, and safest guiding, Star upon our path abiding, Trust in God, and do the right. Some will hate thee, some will love thee, TUNEST. OSWALD." 124-STANDING BY A PURPOSE TRUE. THIS little hymn, by Philip Bliss, Edna Lyall specially mentioned as one which had helped her. It is quaint, but it has helped many another to learn the lesson which is perhaps of all others most difficult to learn. TANDING by a purpose true, STANeding God's command, Honour them, the faithful few! Dare to be a Daniel! Dare to stand Dare to have a purpose firm! Dare to Many mighty men are lost, Many giants, great and tall, |
