HEART OF MV SAVIOUR. 0, Heart of my Saviour, sore wounded for me. Each day let my heart draw closer to Thee. In the fount of I hy blood do Thou cleanse the world's stain, In the light of Thy love do Thou guide me again. It was our sins that mocked Thee and wielded the rod. It was our sins that crushed Thee and drained Thy Heart's Blood, And yet, O the wonder of grace by love sealed, By Thy stripes are we strengthened, by Thy bruises healed. Dear Heart of my Saviour, where Thou watch’st alone In dim, weary vigil o'er cold altar stone, Let me come and watch, too, and let gratitude be In the heart that Thou ransomed full fervent for Thee. Hi the Heart of my Saviour, lo! what splendor there lies! Oh, Thou sun without setting, Thou light of the skies, Shine full on my gloom, fill my soul with Thy grace, Until at Thy summons I may look on Thy face. —Sabah IT. Jones. * REFLECTIONS. They who shall enjoy the eternal light can never be blind ; they who serve the Lord need never be afraid — St. Clare. Let your heart be anchored upon that sure Rock and upon that alone.—St. Hugh.
