To the dark desert of the spirit led , Our Saviour fasted , and the evil one Came to him tempting— " If thou be the Son Of God , command these stones to be made bread ;" And Jesus answered him , ' * Man is not fed By bread alone , but by the words that come From God ' s own mouth . " Upon the Temple ' s dome » Within the holy city , then they stood , and said The tempter , mocking , " If thou art indeed His Son , cast thyself down— 'tis writ that he Has given his angels charge concerning thee . " To whom the Saviour , " 'Tis again decreed , Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God . " May I , Master , like thee , the power of sin defy ! ¦ ^¦ MH ^^

" These , Master , were thy words , and still rely JViy hopes unrnov'd upon them ' mid the strife Of earthly care—and then I follow thee To the cold grave where Lazarus is laid ; I see thy tears , and Mary asks thine aid—The aid is present : " That thou heard'st me , Father , I thank thee / 1 and thou criest aloud To Lazarus , " Come forth ! " He lives , he breathes ; The funeral garb is rent—the many wreaths Of death are torn away , and the pale shroud—Whilst wondering forms around the Saviour move , And own the presence of Almighty Love .

" Of such my Father ' s kingdom , and as free From guile and sinfulness , your hearts must bo If you would enter there $ " words of a love Divine and pure ! Oh , may I ever prove Gentle and meek , in deep humility Bending my spirit , Jesus , to their sway . I would be one of these ; and when with smiles I bless some lov'd one , who my care beguiles , May every thought thy niild command obey , With childlike trust upon thy promise rest , And seek the shelter of a Father ' s breast .
