Chapter L: “Lord! carest Thou not that we perish!” 88

N
Not alone in God’s house, or in seasons of prayer 73
Now in the East Hope’s trembling light 29

O
O God of Hosts, our fathers’ God 77

S
Souls are perishing before thee 119
Standing upon the awful brink 117

T
The awful night hath passed, the day 100
The balmy spring awakes the flowers 35
The day of life is closing 104
The fear of God most high 113
The precious blood of Christ my Lord 11
There is a sword of glittering sheen 32
There were fishermen once by the blue Galilee 45
The Sabbath sun has risen high 55
The stately mansion riseth beneath the builder’s hand 25
The summer blossoms fast decay 13
To whom do I obedience owe 63

W
When from the branches’ leafy screen 92
When in our breasts we feel the flame of love 97
When on Zion’s hill we rest 37
When Peter by the miracle 90
When shades of night around him close 16
When verdant fields are seen no more 65
Where is thy new-born Lord, O Judah? Zion—where thy King? 81
Who wisdom’s path forsakes 115
Why dread the future, trembling one 109

POEMS.
I dreamed that in the stilly hush of night 153
Life’s deep afflictions not alone demand 136
Proud—and of what! poor vain and helpless worm 149
Through the majestic forest shade 125
