WE long to walk the way
Our Master trod,
Who was the Son of man
And Son of God;
Oh! may we glorify
Our lives on earth,
That we may manifest
Our heavenly birth.
We need thy guiding love,
Shepherd who died
For love's sake on the cross.
And who defied
The power of death to hold,
The grave to keep,
And so from fear of death
Savest thy sheep.
Love's feast now may we find
Prepared by Thee,
Like those who broke their fast
By Galilee;
When Christ arisen they saw,
New hope was given.
With that hope let us now
Be heirs of heaven.
If you want to be miserable, think about yourself, about what you want, what you like, what respect people ought to pay you and what people think of you.—
O, what authority, and show of truth
Can cunning sin cover itself withal.
