Page 162 - There are briars besetting every path, That call for patient care ; There is a cross in every lot, And an earnest need for prayer ; But a lowly heart that leans on Thee Is happy anywhere. In a service which Thy will appoints, There are no bonds for me ; For my inmost heart is taught "the truth" That makes Thy children "free;" And a life of self-renouncing love Is a life of liberty.
Page 91 - For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not.
