Lord of the grass and hill.

Lord of the Mountain..

Love, thou art Absolute sole lord

Lord, thou hast given me a cell.....

Loud mockers in the roaring street..

Lord, not for light in darkness do we pray..
Lord, now lettest Thou Thy servant depart
peace

Lord of all being, throned afar.

Of all the thoughts of God that are..

aims?

Oh, cease, my wandering soul.

Oh, God, beneath thy guiding hand.

Oh God, our help in ages past.

O mother dear, Jerusalem..

O my God, thou hast wounded me with love..
Once in a dream I saw the flowers..
Once in Persia reigned a King..

Once when my heart was passion free..

One asked a sign from God; and day by day.

One day as I sat and suffered...

One day there entered at my chamber door.
One holy church of God appears.

One sweetly. solemn thought.

Only for these I pray...

O thou great Friend to all the sons of men....

"Room for the leper! Room!" and as he came.. Nathaniel P. Willis

Safe home, safe home in port....
Saying "There is no hope," he stepped..
Say not the struggle naught availeth.
Seated one day at the organ.

Serene, I fold my hands and wait.

Serene the silver fishes glide.

Shall we not open the human heart.
She made a little shadow-hidden grave.
Singer, sing! The hoary world..
Sing, my tongue, the Saviour's glory.
Slight as thou art, thou art enough to hide..
So, back again?-And is your errand done....
So faith is strong....

So here hath been dawning...
Some keep Sunday going to church.

Sometimes, I know not why, nor how, nor

So soon my body will have gone..

So, there, when sunset made the downs look new. Charles H. Sorley

Sorrow has a harp of seven strings.

Sorrows humanize our race...
Souls of men! why will ye scatter..
Stainless soldier on the walls..
Stern Daughter of the Voice of God!.
Strong in a dream of perfect bloom..
Strong Son of God, immortal Love.
Such pictures of the heavens were never
Sudden amid the slush and rain.
Sunset and evening star.....
Surrounded by unnumbered Foes.
Sweet day, so cool, so calm, so bright!..
Sweet is the time for joyous folk...
