Learning all the worth of pain, Learning all the might that lies In a full self-sacrifice. 145. 8 & 7s. M. Bowring. Glorying in the Cross. 1 In the cross of Christ we glory, Towering o'er the wrecks of time; All the light of sacred story Gathers round its head sublime. 2 When the woes of life overtake us, Hopes deceive, and fears annoy; Never shall the cross forsake us, Lo! it glows with peace and joy! 3 When the sun of bliss is beaming Light and love upon our way; From the cross the radiance streaming Adds more lustre to the day. 4 Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure, By the cross are sanctified; Peace is there that knows no measure, Joys that through all time abide. 5 In the cross of Christ we glory, Towering o'er the wrecks of time; All the light of sacred story Gathers round its head sublime. 146.

Looking to Jesus. 1 If love, the noblest, purest, best, If truth, all other truth above, May claim return from every breast, O, surely Jesus claims our love! 2 There's not a hope with comfort fraught, Triumphant over death and time, But Jesus mingles in that thought, Forerunner of our course sublime. 3 His image meets us in the hour Of joy, and brightens every smile; We see him, when the tempests lower, Each terror soothe, each grief beguile. 4 We see him in the daily round Of social duty, mild and meek; With him we tread the hallowed ground, Communion with our God to seek. 5 We see his pitying, gentle eye, When lonely want appeals for aid; We hear him in the frequent sigh, That mourns the waste that sin has made. 6 We meet him at the lowly tomb, And weep where Jesus wept before; And there, above the grave's dark gloom, We see him rise,--and weep no more. 147. L. M. *Watts. The Divine Example. 1 My dear Redeemer, and my Lord, I read my duty in thy word; But in thy life the law appears Drawn out in living characters. 2 Such was thy truth, and such thy zeal, Such deference to thy Father's will,
