When on my day of life the night is fall-ing, And, in the winds from unsunn'd spaces

I hear far voices out of darkness call-ing My feet to paths unknown. Amen.

And, in the winds from unsunned spaces blown,

I hear far voices out of darkness calling

My feet to paths unknown,

2 Thou, who hast made my home of life so pleasant,
Leave not its tenant when its walls decay;

O Love divine, O Helper ever present,
Be Thou my strength and stay!

3 Be near me when all else is from me drifting,-
Earth, sky, home's pictures, days of shade and shine,
And kindly faces to my own uplifting

The love which answers mine.

4 I have but Thee, my Father, let Thy Spirit
Be with me then to comfort and uphold!

No gate of pearl, no branch of palm I merit,
Nor street of shining gold.

5 Suffice it if my good and ill unreckoned,

And both forgiven through Thy abounding grace-
I find myself by hands familiar beckoned
Unto my fitting place,-

6 Some humble door among Thy many mansions,
Some sheltering shade where sin and striving cease-
And flows forever through heaven's green expansions
The river of Thy peace.

7 There, from the music round about me stealing,
I fain would learn the new and holy song,
And find at last, beneath Thy trees of healing,
The life for which I long.

John Greenleaf Whittier, 1882

HO is on the Lord's side? Who will be His helpers

Other lives to bring?

Who will leave the world's side?
Who will face the foe?

Who is on the Lord's side?
Who for Him will go?
By Thy call of mercy,
By Thy grace divine,
We are on the Lord's side,
Saviour, we are Thine.
2 Not for weight of glory,
Not for crown and palm,
Enter we the army,

Raise the warrior psalm;
But for love that claimeth
Lives for whom He died:
He whom Jesus nameth
Must be on His side.

By Thy love constraining,
By Thy grace divine,
We are on the Lord's side,
Saviour, we are Thine.

3 Jesus, Thou hast bought us,
Not with gold or gem,
But with Thine own life-blood,
For Thy diadem:
With Thy blessing filling
Each who comes to Thee,
Thou hast made us willing,
Thou hast made us free.
By Thy grand redemption,
By Thy grace divine,
We are on the Lord's side,
Saviour, we are Thine.
4 Fierce may be the conflict,
Strong may be the foe,
But the King's own army
None can overthrow:
Round His standard ranging,
Victory is secure;

For His truth unchanging
Makes the triumph sure,
Joyfully enlisting

By Thy grace divine,
We are on the Lord's side,
Saviour, we are Thine.

Frances R. Havergal, 1877
