About This Book

The collection presents pairs of short devotional hymns for mornings and evenings across a seven-day cycle, each offering prayerful reflection, instruction, and petition. Themes include reliance on divine light and guidance, penitence and intercession, vigilance against temptation, perseverance in the Christian life, and hope of heaven. Language uses domestic and pastoral imagery—garden, sunrise, throne of grace—to evoke spiritual growth, consolation in sorrow, and missionary concern for the lost. Verses alternate assurance of Christ’s presence with appeals for sanctifying grace, practical encouragement for daily conduct, and longing for final rest in God’s presence.

Wednesday Evening.

“Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees.

Heb. xii. 12.

O faint and feeble-hearted!
Why thus cast down with fear?
Fresh aid shall be imparted,
Thy God unseen is near.
His eye can never slumber,
He marks thy cruel foes;
Observes their strength, their number,
And all thy weakness knows.
Though heavy clouds of sorrow
Make dark thy path to-day,
There may shine forth to-morrow
Once more a cheering ray.
Doubts, griefs, and foes assailing,
Conceal heaven’s fair abode;
Yet now faith’s power prevailing
Should stay thy mind on God.
