2 Tues.

(Exodus 7. 14-25; Acts 2. 1-13)

Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the LORD. Psalm 31. 24

Discouraged in the work of life,
Disheartened by its load,
Shamed by its failures or its fears,
I sink beside the road;
But let me only think of thee,
And then new heart springs up in me. 244. 2

The disciples went out and proclaimed that all should repent. They cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many who were sick and cured them. Mark 6.12 13

That we may care, as thou hast cared,
For sick and lame, for deaf and blind,
And freely share, as thou hast shared,
In all the sorrows of mankind;

That ours may be the holy task
To help and bless, to heal and save;
This is the happiness we ask,
And this the service that we crave. 475. 4, 5
