420 Only a Word. P.M.

_Speaking for Christ._

Only a word for Jesus,
Spoken in fear with sense of need;
Yet, with the Master's blessing,
Thousands that word may feed.

Cho.--Give me a word for thee, Master!
Give me a word for thee!
To speak thy praise,
Some soul to raise,
Oh, give me a word for thee.

2 Only a word for Jesus,
Gentle and low with falt'ring breath;
Yet, with the Spirit's thrilling,
Winning a soul from death.

3 Only a word for Jesus,
Only a wav'ring soul to hear;
Yet, thro' increasing ages,
Widen its help and cheer.

4 Only a word for Jesus,
Feeble the love and praise appear:
Angels their songs are ceasing,
Glad this new note to hear.

E. S. Lorenz.

421 Is Your Lamp Still Burning? P.M.

_Waiting His Coming._

Are you Christ's light bearer?
Of his joy a sharer?
Is this dark world fairer
For your cheering ray?
Is your beacon lighted,
Guiding souls benighted
To the land of perfect day?

Cho.--Oh, brother, is your lamp trimmed and burning?
Is the world made brighter by its cheering ray?
Are you ever waiting
For your Lord's returning?
Are you watching day by day?

2 Is your heart warm glowing,
With his love o'erflowing,
And his goodness showing
More and more each day?
Are you pressing onward,
With Christ's faithful vanguard,
In the safe and narrow way?

3 Keep your altars burning,
Wait your Lord's returning,
While your heart's deep yearning
Draws him ever near;
With his radiance splendid
Shall your light be blended
When his glory shall appear?

Priscilla J. Owens.

422 Will Jesus Find Us Watching? P.M.

_Faithfulness._

When Jesus comes to reward his servants,
Whether it be noon or night,
Faithful to him will he find us watching,
With our lamps all trimmed and bright?

Ref.--Oh, can we say we are ready, brother?
Ready for the soul's bright home?
Say, will he find you and me still watching,
Waiting, waiting when the Lord shall come?

2 If at the dawn of the early morning,
He shall call us one by one,
When to the Lord we restore our talents,
Will he answer thee--Well done?

3 Have we been true to the trust he left us?
Do we seek to do our best?
If in our hearts there is naught condemns us,
We shall have a glorious rest.

4 Blessed are those whom the Lord fin
