CECILIA HAVERGAL by FRANCES RIDLEY HAVERGAL

First Line: CHRIST HATH CALLED THEE, CHRIST HATH BLEST
Last Line: L IVE FOR HIM WHO DIED FOR THEE.
Subject(s): BIRTHDAYS;
C HRIST hath called thee, Christ hath blest,
E verlasting life is thine;
C losely cleaving, thou shalt rest
I n His glorious love divine.
L et Him teach thee what He will,
I n thee day by day fulfil
A ll His sweet and blessed will.

H e is come to claim His throne,
A nd thy life is all His own;
V oices of this passing earth,
E choes of its praise or mirth,
R each not, when the heart hath heard
G olden music of His word.
'A ll for Jesus' henceforth be!
L ive for Him who died for thee.
