WHERE HAST THOU GLEANED?

The day now draweth to its close,
How has the time been spent?
The weary laborer homeward goes,
With a heart of love that overflows
For loved ones around his hearth that glows,
And he is well content.
Ask of thyself, what thou hast done
Since the morning's sun arose?
Hast thou answered the cry of a soul in need,
Bound up a heart whose wounds did bleed,
To the bed of affliction gone with speed?
Then welcome sweet repose.
Thrice blest are those who can truly say,
As a backward glance they take,
That throughout the day which now is spent,
Their lips, and hand, and feet were lent,
To the bed of affliction gone with speed?
All for the Master's sake.

94

And may no shade thy presence hide
While I pass Jordan's vale.
Be thou my shining light through life,
When skies are overcast,
Then I shall triumph in the strife,
And rest with Thee at last.
