Then a light from heaven illuminedThe dark path which Jesus trod, And I felt a heavenly impulseTo draw nearer to my God. So I formed a resolution, One that means continual strife,T will follow Thee, dear Jesus, Every moment of my life.

Ttte Annunciatiox {Bouguereau) VERSED FOR VARIOUS OCCASIONS THE ANNUNCIATION In Nazareth of Galilee, Built on a mountains breast,An angel to a Virgin came With tidings doubly blest.

Inquired Judeas power of God is infinite; Ah, be ye not afraid! Behold the handmaid of the Lord,Exclaimed the A^irgin mild. Then Jesus Christ incarnate cameTo Mary undefiled. 45
