GUIDE US TO-DAY.

By Laura Sanford

Guide us to-day, O loving Care, Shielding our dangerous way The white mist binds the sky o'erhead, The gulf beside is deep and dread, Our course a maze, our path a thread. Guide us, Love's dearest care; Guide us this day.

Guide us to-day, sweet soul of Peace, Making men's hearts obey. Our naked breasts bleed at a wound, Oppression bows us to the ground, Our hearts faint at a cruel sound. Kind, calm, consoling Peace, Guide us this day.

Guide us to-day, O tender Grace, From zenith, shadows stray; A sad, deep murmur haunts the sea; The summer withers; and the free, Fresh wind has sighs of mystery. Guide us, O tender Grace; Guide us to-day.

Guide us, Love, Peace, and Grace ! Guide us, divinest Light ! Through all our work and care and woe, Through all the dizzy joys we know, Through that "Dark Valley" where we go, Guide us, Love's dearest light. To-day, to-night. —Laura Sanford.
