Midnight on Calvary. Down stricken to his knees he fell, And sobbing out aloud, The night was come after the day Where John had stood all steadfast, Of the great Agony, His face to earth he bowed. When Peter from Jerusalem Went up to Calvary. ' 0, Master, blessed Master I Is this the end of all? Alone and silently he passed And that was our last parting Out of the Eastern gate, This morning, in the hall ? Above all others on the earth Stricken and desolate. ' One look straight through the darkness Ever against me cries ; The nightingales sang not that night, 0, silent Lord, I cannot bear For Christ lay dead on earth; The sorrow of thine eyes I The olive-leaves stayed whispering As Peter wandered forth. 'Betrayed, forsaken, slandered, - In bitterest need and woe ; The moon came slowly up the Bast, I was not with Thee here, Lord; A glittering, large full moon; Ah! that it should be so!' And the dumb land grew clearer : Midnight was coming soon. ' We know not whither Thou art gone, We do not know the way; The Master was not watching All light, and hope, and comfort, Up on the hills in prayer. Are gone from earth to-day. He stood still in the shiver And darkness of despair. Left all alone, and in the dark, If I had been more wise, He lifted up his eyes, as one I might have been this very hour That wakens from a swoon, With Thee in Paradise. And he saw the three gaunt crosses Stand back against the moon. 0 Lord, have pity on me now, That my heart may not break Apace he hurried up the hill Before I have done or suffered, Where, a few hours ago, Aught worthy for Thy sake.'

Little Barbara's Hymn. Toiling all day m a crowded room, A worker stood at her noisy loom ; A mother stood by her spinning wheel A voice came up through the ceaseless din, Winding the yarn on an ancient reel. These words at the window floatedin : As she counted the threads in the twilight dim " Whether we sleep or whether we wake, She murmured the words of a quaint old hymn : We are His who gave His life for our sake." " Whether we sleep or whether we wake, We are His'who gave His life for our sake." A mourner sat by her loved one's side, Tne sun seemed darkened, the world was drear, Little Barbara, watching the spinning wheel, But her sobs were stilled and her cheek grew dry And keeping time with her toe and wheel As she listened to Barbara, passing by : To the hum of the thread and her mother's song, " Whether we sleep or whether we wake, Sang in her own sweet voice ere long : We are His who gave His life for our sake.1' ' "Whether we sleep or whether we wake, We are His who gave His life for our sake." Alike in all hearts, as the years went on, The infant voice rose up anon, That night in her dreams as she sleeping lay, In the grateful words that cheered their way, Over and over the scenes of the day Of the hymn that Barbara sang that day: Came back, till she seemed to hear again " Whether we sleep or whether we wake, The hum of the thread and the quaint old strain, We are His who gave His life for our sake." " Whether we sleep or whether we wake, We are His who gave His life for our sake." Perhaps, when the labor of life is done, And they lay down their labors, one by one, Next morning, with bounding heart and feet, Forgetting forever these days of pain, . Little Barbara walked in the crowded street, They will up together the sweet refrain : And up to her lips, as she passed along, " Whether we sleep or whether we wake, Eose the tender words of her mother's song: We are His who gave His life for our sake.1' " Whether we sleep or whether we wake, We are His who gave His life for our sake."
