Page 167 - Where pity dwells, the peace of God is there ; To worship rightly is to love each other, Each smile a hymn, each kindly deed a prayer. Follow with reverent steps the great example Of Him whose holy work was " doing good ; " So shall the wide earth seem our Father's temple, Each loving life a psalm of gratitude.
Page 111 - Upbearing, like the Ark of old, The Bible in our van, We go to test the truth of God Against the fraud of man.
