CHARITY . — -By Beo . G . Douglas Thompson . { This Song is Copyright . ] Forgive , if you cannot forget ,
Too few know the blessing who live , To banish each cause of regret , Forgetting the wrongs they forgive . No mem ' ry too faithful by far , On wrongs too securely is set ,
Let revenge not continue the war , Forgive , if you cannot forget . What tho' to your sorrow you ' ve known , Deceit that surpasses all pain , Which to glance at awakens a moan , And to dwell on would madden the brain . Still strive to be calm and resigned , Think wisely and banish regret ,
Nursed anger but fevers the mind , Forgive , if you cannot forget . There are faces too bright for our eyes , That smile over those who forgive , There are tongues that proclaim in the skies , Whose echoes eternally live .
Who can think on the course he has run , And not feel his own heart ' s heavy debt , Then ere the decline of the sun , * Forgive , if you cannot forget .
On Hearing A Little Child Say The Lord's Prayer.
ON HEARING A LITTLE CHILD SAY THE LORD'S PRAYER .
Solemn and sweet the accents came From lips so undefined , " Our Father ! hallowed be Thy Name , " Breath'd by that little child !
With earnest eyes upraised above , Hands clasped in form of prayer , It seemed as if th' Almighty ' s love , Rested in blessing there .
" Our Father ! " may His tender eye , Lov'd child ! be with thee still , Watch o ' er thy helpless infancy , Guard thee from every ill !
May He , in mercy , grace impart Unto thy youthful day , Control and guide thy manhood ' s heart , To choose His perfect way . And when " Our Father" calls thee—thine Aye be the crown of joy , Where Heaven ' s eternal splendours shine , And peace finds no alloy .
* Let not the sun go down upon your wrath . —Ephesians iv . 2 (> .
