[The Footprints of Christ.]
Let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith.
Hebrews xii. 1.
O fear not, Christians, that rough path to tread,
Whereon blest Footprints of your Saviour lead,
His bliss to gain,
Who went not up to joy but through sharp pain:
Gaze on that countless host with steadfast eyes,
His followers, your fore-runners to the skies,
And scan their life,
Examples each with holy lessons rife.
