SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES.

By Max Hill

WHAT readest thou? Canst understand?— Delve deep if thou wouldst know The hidden mine; No pearls are thine Till thou hast dived below; No treasure comes to idle hand.

Hast found dark words and hard to know?— O haste to seek the Light That shines for all, For brightly fall Its beams, to guide aright The searching ones of earth below.

Hast thou the wisdom for the task?— Thine own will not avail; 'Twill lead astray; But seek to-day, The One who will not fail To teach His children when they ask.

Wouldst drive thy doubts and fears away?— Then flee the way of strife; Obey the call; Surrender all To Him who is the life, For Jesus is the truth, the way.

Wouldst fully know the saving grace?— The Scriptures search with care, And thou shalt know The way to go, And in a world more fair Behold thy Saviour face to face. Max Hill.
