The Lord He Guideth Me
Poet: Eloise A. Skimings

O my heart is light
And my songs are bright.
My voice is full of glee.
No dark cloud of care
Mv heart can ensnare -
The Lord He guideth me.

The vesper hell peals,
My heart joyous feels
At its sweet minstrelsy.
While I list, these notes
On the light air floats,
The Lord He guideth me.

Then with lasting love
I will look above
In all humility;
In notes of sweet song
Sing the whole day long.
The Lord He guideth me.

O my heart is light
And ray songs are bright,
My voice is full of glee.
No dark cloud of care
My heart can ensnare.
The Lord He guideth me.

Come Little Children
Poet: Eloise A. Skimings

"Come ye little children unto me.
For of such is the kingdom of Heaven;"
Such were the words of our Divine Lord,
Such dear ones the command he has given.

Dear little soldiers of Christ you'll be,
With wreaths and breast-knots of virginal white,
When ye kneel at the altar God's glory
Will surround ye, in a halo of light.

Be brave, little ones, and be pure of heart,
For God loveth innocence, such as thine;
Daily ask Him your past sins to forgive,
"Yes," He will say, "ye are children of mine"

Hymn
Poet: Eloise A. Skimings

Lord our God, who rules above,
Accept our earthly works of love
And fill our souls with faith to prove Thy Majesty.
Let the Gospel's seed take root and bloom,
And flowers of faith expel the gloom,
For Christ has risen from the tomb In Majesty.

Let ev'ry tongue Thy praise proclaim,
Let ev'ry knee bow at Thy name,
For Jesus Thou art still the same In Majesty.
The heavens with Thy name shall ring,
And countless angels endless sing.
We'll live with Thee, our Lord and King, In Majesty.

Hard To Bear
Poet: Eloise A. Skimings

While my task seems hard to bear;
Hard to know that on this earth
I'll never see thee more, ne'er
See thy smile at my return,
Nor hear thy fresh young voice in
Accents fraught with filial love.
But we will meet again, meet
To part no more, in the world
Of heavenly rest, of promise
Of eternal joy. The Vine,
The living Branch, whose tendrils
Take root in the heart alone.
Knew that our love was earthly,
That our hearts clung to our child.
And now we„ with humble trust
In God's goodness, in his word,
"Come to me all ye that are
Laden, and I will refresh ye,"
We will join in the anthem,
"Abide with me."

Pentecost
Poet: Eloise A. Skimings

"If anyone love me
He will keep my word,"
Truths from the lips of Christ,
Our Sovereign Lord.
If we love Him? Ah. me,
Are we in His grace?
Are we standard bearers
In this earthly race?

Love, the faithful loadstone
Which draws soul to soul,
Essence of power divine,
Under God's control.
Love of Christ, the pillar
To which our souls cling;
Love of Christ, the anthem
Which the angels sing.

Love, the sinner's pardon.
The atonement true;
In sin's night of darkness.
Falls like morning dew.
And the worn and weary
Find a place of rest. '
Mid the storms of envy
On the Savior's breast.

Love, the soldier's watchword
On the battle field,
Of Queen, of home, and country,
God's power revealed.
"Peace I leave, peace, I give,"
Thus the Paraclete
With tongues of living fire
Descending doth greet.
