WE WOULD SEE JESUS.

By Mrs. Ada Miller

We would see Jesus; for the shadows deepen, The day is closing, night is almost here. We would see Jesus; He our faith could strengthen, And fill our drooping hearts with holy cheer.

We would see Jesus; Lord, our hearts are longing To hear the still, small whisper of Thy voice, Speak to us, Lord; for only Thou canst comfort; Speak to us, Lord, and bid our hearts rejoice.

We would see Jesus, lest our footsteps falter, And we, perchance, may miss the narrow way, And stumble, fall in gathering gloom of midnight; We would see Jesus, lest we go astray.

We would see Jesus. Hark! I hear a whisper; A voice is speaking low, in tones most blest: "Come unto Me, ye weary, heavy-laden; Come unto Me, and I will give you rest."

'Tis Jesus calls, the loving, gentle Saviour; 'Tis Jesus speaks, the one we long to see; The Shepherd's voice we know and gladly welcome; We rise, dear Lord, with joy to follow Thee.

And Thou wilt lead us unto pastures verdant; Thy living Word our daily food shall be; Our thirsty souls shall drink from life's pure fountain, And, satisfied, go forth to follow Thee. Oakland, Cal. MRS. ADA MILLER.
