SEEKING THE LOST,

By Melissa F. Gould

BY MRS. MELISSA F. GOULD.
Give me a deeper love to show To all thy creatures here below, And may my hand keep back no part Which I might do to win one heart.
Some dear one from the path of sin, Oh! may it be my lot to win Back to the tender Shepherd’s care,— Back to the fold, thy pastures fair.
Oh! let no selfish thought or care Persuade me not for them to bear Fatigue or hunger, thirst or cold, To win the young or bless the old.
Oh that in Heaven I some may meet Who’ll say, “’T was you who turned our feet From straying, to that narrow road That led us to this blest abode.”
