EVER THE BEST.

By Max Hill

BY MAX HILL.

I know when great temptations come to me I shall be strong; The evil of great sins I clearly see; But O I long To guard against the little sins of life, To keep my heart, To keep it pure from every petty strife; To have no part With those whose tendency would drag me down From that estate, The end of which shall be a beauteous crown Beyond the gate.

So, as I live and strive to enter in, My daily prayer Is, "Lord, abide with me; keep me from sin, I trust Thy care; O let me ever seek to know Thy way, Thy will to see; Lord, guide my falt'ring steps from day to day As pleaseth Thee." For I must not let good and better things, However true, Veil from my sight the best that Heaven brings To mortal view.
