The Christian's Walk.

CHRISTIAN! walk carefully—danger is near! On in thy journey, with trembling and fear, Snares from without and temptation within, Seek to entice thee again into sin.

Christian! walk cheerfully—though the fierce storm Darken the sky with the clouds of alarm, Soon will those clouds and the tempest be past, And thou dwell safely with Jesus at last.

Christian! walk humbly—exult not in pride! All that thou hast is by Jesus supplied; Holding thee up, he directeth thy ways, To him be forever the glory and praise.

Christian! walk steadfastly—while it is light; Swift are approaching the shadows of night! All that thy Master hath bidden thee do, Haste to perform, for thy moments are few.

Christian! walk prayerfully—oft wilt thou fall, If thou forget on thy Saviour to call: But safe shalt thou walk through each trial and care, If thou art clad in the armor of prayer.

Christian! walk hopefully—trouble and pain, Cease when the haven of rest thou dost gain. And from the lips of the Judge shall be heard, "Enter for ever the joy of thy Lord!"
