  The beautiful bright sunshine, That smiles on all below, The waving trees, the cool, soft breeze, The rippling streams that flow, The shadows on the hillsides, The many tinted flowers, O God! how fair Thy loving care Has made this earth of ours! The beautiful affections That gather round our way, The joys that rise from household ties, And deepen day by day; The tender love that guards us Whenever danger lowers, O God! how fair Thy loving care Has made this earth of ours! But brighter is the shining, And tender is the love, And purer still the joys which fill The unseen home above— The home where all His children Shall sing with fuller power, “O God! how fair Thy loving care Has made this earth of ours!”

Genesis 22:13

• [Gen 22:13] The Saints Should Never Be Dismayed

  The saints should never be dismayed, Nor sink in hopeless fear; For when they least expect His aid, The Savior will appear. This Abr’am found: he raised the knife; God saw, and said, “Forbear! Yon ram shall yield his meaner life; Behold the victim there.” Once David seemed Saul’s certain prey; But hark! the foe’s at hand; Saul turns his arms another way, To save th’invaded land. When Jonah sunk beneath the wave, He thought to rise no more; But God prepared a fish to save, And bear him to the shore. Blest proofs of power and grace divine, That meet us in His Word! May every deep felt care of mine Be trusted with the Lord. Wait for His seasonable aid, And though it tarry, wait: The promise may be long delayed, But cannot come too late.
