• My Master and my Lord!
  I long to do some work, some work for Thee;
  I long to bring some lowly gift of love
  For all Thy love to me.
  • Reported in Josiah Hotchkiss Gilbert, Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895), p. 120.

• Thou wilt draw nigh!
  Father — it is no dream that Thou art near —
  No dream that, in my sin and misery,
  I may look up to Thee,—
  May hide beneath the shadow of Thy wings,
  From all the restlessness of outward things,
  And from my own heart's self-accusing fears —
  For Thou art nigh.
  • Reported in Josiah Hotchkiss Gilbert, Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895), p. 432.

• Like dew on drooping blossoms,
  Like breath from Holy place,
  Laden with health and healing,
  Come Thy deep words of grace:
  "Thy strength is all in leaning
  On One who fights for thee;
  Thine is the helpless clinging,
  And mine the victory."
  • Reported in Josiah Hotchkiss Gilbert, Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895), p. 595.
