"KEEP HEART."
Days came, days went, bat thine endurance tarried, A strenuous youth strove iuto middle age, Thou, uot impatient of the burden carried. Took'st toil and curmoil for thy heritage. Thou hast wrought nobly, nobly borne, aud now Keep thy heart sfcroug; let others faU—not thou. Thou hast uot lost the sweetness of That Name Which made the music of thy childhood's hours. Thy rapture was the broadening of His fame; Thy weakness loved the testing of His powers. Let not thy faith fail now, nor thiue endeavour; No past suffices. Knights are true for ever. So long thou hast beeu £>atient, nor grown weary. Pain could not force a cry from thee, nor hate Compel thy love to cease. Are days so dreary That life at last has made thee desolate? Dear heart, call hope to thee once more, not fret They faith away: God lives, and loves thee yet. There is a sound uf warfare in the air, And thou wilt answer to the trumpet call. Thou hast woru armour often, yet prepare Again; Christ summous thee; art thou not all His owu, to serve Him, live for Him, or die? O servaut of the King, do well thy part Ouce more. A victor thou! Keep heart, keep heart!
