<h2 id="id01028" style="margin-top: 3em">A Plea for Missions</h2>
<p id="id01029" style="margin-top: 2em"> O, SOULS that know the love of God,<br/>
And know it deep and true,<br/>
The love that in your heart is shed abroad<br/>
Shall others share with you?<br/></p>
<p id="id01030"> And do you count it joy to give<br/>
Of what to you is given,<br/>
That erring souls may hear the word, and live<br/>
In hope of rest and heaven?<br/></p>
<p id="id01031"> If not, lift up your blinded eyes,<br/>
And let the light break in;<br/>
Behold a world that, bruised and groaning, lies<br/>
Beneath the curse of sin.<br/></p>
<p id="id01032"> Then higher lift your eyes, to meet<br/>
Your Master's tender gaze,<br/>
And say, "Dear Lord, thy will in us complete,<br/>
And pardon our delays."<br/></p>
