Sow sunbeams on the rock and moor,
And find a harvest-home of light.

O Lord, how happy is the time
When in Thy love I rest:
When from my weariness I climb
E'en to Thy tender breast.
The night of sorrow endeth there,
Thy rays outshine the sun;
And in Thy pardon and Thy care
The heaven of heavens is won.

The Lord God hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary.

Give me strength to help him on;
If a blinder soul there be,
Let me guide him nearer Thee.

- J. G. WHITTIER​

That hurries to and fro,
Seeking for some great thing to do,
Or secret thing to know;

And guided where I go.

As the winged arrow flies
Speedily the mark to find;
As the lightning from the skies
Darts and leaves no trace behind;
Swiftly thus our fleeting days
Bear us down life's rapid stream;
Upward, Lord, our spirits raise;
All below is but a dream.

- John Newton​

O, my friend, rise up and follow
Where the hand of God shall lead;

But to fit thee for his need.
