Luke the beloved physician and Demas greet you	A
Colossians iv Demas hath forsaken me having loved this	B
present world Only Luke is with me Timothy iv	C
	D
	-
	-
Two clouds before the summer gale	E
In equal race fleet o'er the sky	F
Two flowers when wintry blasts assail	E
Together pins together die	F
	-
But two capricious human hearts	G
No sage's rod may track their ways	H
No eye pursue their lawless starts	G
Along their wild self chosen maze	H
	-
He only by whose sovereign hand	I
E'en sinners for the evil day	J
Were made who rules the world He planned	I
Turning our worst His own good way	J
	-
He only can the cause reveal	K
Why at the same fond bosom fed	L
Taught in the self same lap to kneel	K
Till the same prayer were duly said	L
	-
Brothers in blood and nurture too	A
Aliens in heart so oft should prove	C
One lose the other keep Heaven's clue	A
One dwell in wrath and one in love	C
	-
He only knows for He can read	L
The mystery of the wicked heart	M
Why vainly oft our arrows speed	N
When aimed with most unerring art	M
	-
While from some rude and powerless arm	O
A random shaft in season sent	P
Shall light upon some lurking harm	O
And work some wonder little meant	P
	-
Doubt we how souls so wanton change	Q
Leaving their own experienced rest	R
Need not around the world to range	Q
One narrow cell may teach us best	R
	-
Look in and see Christ's chosen saint	S
In triumph wear his Christ like chain	T
No fear lest he should swerve or faint	S
His life is Christ his death is gain	T
	-
Two converts watching by his side	U
Alike his love and greetings share	V
Luke the beloved the sick soul's guide	U
And Demas named in faltering prayer	V
	-
Pass a few years look in once more	W
The saint is in his bonds again	X
Save that his hopes more boldly soar	W
He and his lot unchanged remain	T
	-
But only Luke is with him now	Y
Alas that e'en the martyr's cell	Z
Heaven's very gate should scope allow	Y
For the false world's seducing spell	Z
	-
'Tis sad but yet 'tis well be sure	A2
We on the sight should muse awhile	B2
Nor deem our shelter all secure	A2
E'en in the Church's holiest aisle	B2
	-
Vainly before the shrine he bends	C2
Who knows not the true pilgrim's part	M
The martyr's cell no safety lends	C2
To him who wants the martyr's heart	M
	-
But if there be who follows Paul	D2
As Paul his Lord in life and death	E2
Where'er an aching heart may call	D2
Ready to speed and take no breath	E2
	-
Whose joy is to the wandering sheep	F2
To tell of the great Shepherd's love	C
To learn of mourners while they weep	F2
The music that makes mirth above	C
	-
Who makes the Saviour all his theme	G2
The Gospel all his pride and praise	H
Approach for thou canst feel the gleam	G2
That round the martyr's death bed plays	H
	-
Thou hast an ear for angels' songs	H2
A breath the gospel trump to fill	I2
And taught by thee the Church prolongs	H2
Her hymns of high thanksgiving still	I2
	-
Ah dearest mother since too oft	J2
The world yet wins some Demas frail	E
E'en from thine arms so kind and soft	K2
May thy tried comforts never fail	E
	-
When faithless ones forsake thy wing	L2
Be it vouchsafed thee still to see	M2
Thy true fond nurslings closer cling	L2
Cling closer to their Lord and thee	M2
