# "That I May Win Christ." This poem was not published with Miss Barber's hymns in [[The Verses of a Pilgrim]] nor was it included in hymnals which feature her hymns. While she was an Anglican missionary, this poem was published in the *The Church Missionary Gleaner* in 1907. Since then, it has not subsequently be made available in any form that we have found. "That I May Win Christ" bears a similar devotional depth in keeping with Miss Barber's finest hymns. It is then unclear why she did not include this poem in [[The Verses of a Pilgrim]] or why it has been lost to history. It could easily be paired with a fitting hymn tune to be profitable for private worship or in certain corporate gatherings. ### Poem Woo me, O Lord, from *easy* paths Whose flowers I gather as I go; That I, a deeper fellowship With Thee may daily, hourly know. Speak to me, Lord, that, as I climb The steeper heights, my soul may hear Thy voice, which never fails to nerve My heart and drive away my fear. And if, dear Lord, the flesh would fain Forsake the heights, forego the prize, Fasten on me Thy look of love And *make* me meet Thy searching eyes. Thus woo me! Speak to me! and be The Light to lead me on and on, Until those glorious heights are gained Where Thou, O Christ, art wholly won. *Fuh-Kien.* Margaret E. Barber. --- Meter: 8.8.8.8.
