Side 94 - Twilight and evening bell, And after that the dark! And may there be no sadness of farewell, When I embark; For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place The flood may bear me far, I hope to see my Pilot face to face When I have crossed the bar.

"Lord, Thou hast here Thy ninety and nine; Are they not enough for Thee?' But the Shepherd made answer: 'This of mine Has wandered away from me; And although the road be rough and steep, I go to the desert to find my sheep.
Side 85 - For the love of God is broader Than the measures of man's mind, And the heart of the Eternal Is most wonderfully kind...
Side 96 - TEN thousand times ten thousand In sparkling raiment bright, The armies of the ransomed saints Throng up the steeps of light : 'Tis finished ! all is finished, Their fight with death and sin : Fling open wide the golden gates, And let the victors in.
