The Way Is Long And Weary

The way is long and weary,

The path is bleak and bare;

Our feet are worn and weary,

But we will not despair;

More weary was Thy burden,

More desolate Thy ways,

O Lamb of God, who takest

The sin of the world away,

Have mercy upon us.”-

Adelaide Anne Procter

“Be strong to love…”

“Be strong to love, O Heart!

Love knows no wrong;

Didst thou love- creatures even,

Life were not long;

Didst thou love God in heaven,

Thou wouldst be strong!”

Adelaide Anne Procter, poet
