TO THE LUKEWARM.

By A. L. Guilford

Heed the counsel of the Saviour, Buy of me the gold that's tried; Purify all thy behaviour, For the flesh must be denied.
In the furnace of affliction, Thou wilt find the purest gold; Rebel creatures need correction, Ere they be of heavenly mould.
Buy the raiment white and shining, That thou mayest be clothed upon; Righteousness thy heart entwining, All thy shame will then be gone.
Use the eye-salve by anointing, That thou mayest clearly see, Counsel of thy Lord's appointing, Heed it thou and watchful be.
Jesus says that he will chasten And rebuke those whom he loves, Be thou zealous therefore, hasten And repent, for he reproves. A. L. GUILFORD.
