Heart of mine;

Why linger in the shadows

Come out into the sunlight,

And repine!

Winter's snows can't last forever,

Neither pain;

Oh, come out into the sunlight

Once again!

In the blue the birds are singing

Up above;

Throw away thy gloom and sadness

All is love!

Oh, come out into the sunshine,

Soul of mine;

Never wert thou made for darkness,

Life is thine!

-R. S. C.

Out o/ the shame o/ my coward heart,

Out o/ my night o/ de/eat,

Lilt me, 0 God, to the battle again,

Cover my bitter retreat!

Out o/ despising my weakness and

rout,

Out o/ the love o/ Thy soul,

Purge me, oh, purge, with thy hyssop,

dear Christ,

Give me my spirit made whole!

Beaten, but still unde/eated, I pray,

Thou ol unconquerable hand,

Reach me my poor broken saber

again,

I pledge Thee to die or to stand!

By the wonder o/ Heaven's lorgive.

ness,

By the lovely lure o/ Thy light,

By thy spirit 0/ victory eternal,

God fling me again to the 'fight!
