And Thou, my best, my surest Friend,
Who shall divide me from Thy love?
The three following verses are in Miss Wood’s Hymns for School Worship—a very striking selection of hymns suitable for intelligent young people.
Lord, though Thy Church in this dark world
Do but begin and learn Thy praise,
Accept both it and us through Christ,
Till it and us Thy glory raise.
Here trembling sin resists Thy grace;
Of joy and sorrow we partake:
Our broken hearts and broken peace
