His be the victors name,Who fought our fight alone;Triumphant saints no honour claim,Their conquest was His own. By weakness and defeat,He won the meed and crown;Trod all our foes beneath His feet,By being trodden down.

Bless, bless the Conqueror slain !Slain in His victory!Who lived, who died, who lives

MODERN : ANONYMOUS. 311 THE PEACE OF GOD WHICH PASSETH ALL MK jHE world with stones, instead ofbread,Our hungry souls has often fed ;It promised health, — in one short hourPerished the fair but fragile flower;It promised riches,—in a dayThey made them wings and fled away;It promised friends,—all sought their own,And left my widowM heart alone. Lord! with the barren service spent,To Thee my suppliant knee I bent;And found in Thee a Fathers grace,His hand, His heart, His faithfulness;The voice of peace, the smile of love,The bread which feeds the saints above;And tasted in this world of woe,A joy its children never know. 312 THE BOOK OF SACRED SONG.
