[A VALENTINE]
Up in the same sweet heaven,
Though parted far,
We two may see at even
The same bright star.
So the same blessed guide-star
Of Love divine
Illumines with its glory
Thy path and mine.
When thoughts of these, of heaven
And love are thine,
Be one kind memory given
Thy Valentine.
[A CONVENTION HYMN]
Bless us now, our Heavenly Father,
As we gather once again
And unite our hearts and voices
In a grateful, glad refrain;
Praises for a Father's bounty,
Praises for a Saviour's reign.
Guide us by thy Holy Spirit,
Lead us in thy perfect way;
Show us as we strive to serve Thee,
What to do and what to say;
Teach us how to work and suffer,
How to watch and how to pray.
Gracious Lord, we come with pleading
For our tempted brother's sin;
At the open door of mercy
Praying Thou wilt take him in.
Sin-sick, heart-sore and repentant,
Let him now new life begin.
