3 Their hearts together seek the place HYMN 351. C. M. [b] 1 DAUGHTERS of pity, tune the lay; 2 No altars smoke, no offerings bleed, 3 Our offering is a willing mind 4 Go to the pillow of disease, Where night gives no repose, 5 Go where the friendless stranger lies, Snatch from the grave his closing eyes, 6 Thus what our heavenly Father gave Shall we as freely give; Thus copy him who lived to save, And died that we might live.
