Y1Í1Sé OLD back thy whip, I _ I master! „NB I Hold back thy curas ta jggSMiiggal and frown! -=j- The demons of disaster Fear not the sword or gown;' The demons of disaster- They troop to wreek all ships Than winds of Heaven faster- Hold back thy frowns and whlps. For these, the poor, thy brothen beRemember Him of Galllee! What other power can save you From evils trooping near? From demons all that brave youT His love alone they fear; The demons all that brave you What otber Is to stay? Glve as He f reely gave you, On thls His natal day. By sacriflee we come to bllsa, There is no other path but thia. Behalñ the star that shlneth Forever in the east! Behold the rose that twineth Above the lalr of beast! Behold the rose that twineth To bless the monarch's bower, The same His hand designeth To cheer the toiler's hour! The space between the poor and great His presence doth oblitérate. O perfect love that chidefh The heart that harbors wrongl O love that still abideth To make the weakest strong! O love that still abideth When all else pure hath fled, Thou art! thy strength o'er-rideth The demons man doth dread. 'Tis thine, O silent force of love, To make a lion of the dove.
