ABIDE WITH ME.

By E. W. Darling

Come in, blest Jesus, and abide with me; Here is my heart, cleanse it from every stain; Descend and sup with me, and I with thee; Prepare me to receive the latter rain.
Grant me the eye-salve, Lord, that I may see; And that I may be clothed, white raiment grant. Give me tried gold that I may ever be, Rich toward my God, nor earth's vain treasures want.
No longer cold or lukewarm would I live; I am ashamed of my self-righteousness; My heart, my all, to thee I freely give; O, pardon all that I have done amiss.
Each kind rebuke that thou dost send in love, I'll ever cherish as a token fair, Which thou dost give thy erring child, to prove That for my soul thou hast a tender care.
Rebuke me not in wrath, O Lord, I pray, Nor chasten me in hot displeasure here; But gently lead me in the narrow way; For toward thy name I have a godly fear. E. W. DARLING. Wawkon, Iowa.
