Across the fields my feet did wander, No fixed destination but yonder. The rising land, the cool fresh air, My heart was light, and the day fair. And in strolling through that natural scene, Heaven’s distance seemed much less between. As I walked, a new pasture I passed, It’s nature quite different to last. The previous ‘twas cropped short, clean It’s attendance and care clearly seen. But this meadow long deprived a mow, And thus therein great weeds did gro...
I chose a soul not to release For he had caused me pain, And yet my soul did not have peace But wrapped itself in chain. I have the right not to forgive For this one did me wrong And by my choice I, too, would live And drag this chain along. The chain grew longer every day The weight I could not bear And though I tried to pull away The chain was always there. Yet still I felt it was my right To hold one in this cell The chain around my heart grew tight In my created he...
In acceptance lieth peace, O my heart be still; Let thy restless worries cease And accept His will. Though this test be not thy choice, It is His -- therefore rejoice. In His plan there cannot be Aught to make thee sad: If this is His choice for thee, Take it and be glad. Make from it some lovely thing To the glory of thy King. Cease from sighs and murmuring, Sing His loving grace, This thing means thy furthering To a wealthy place. From thy fears He...
Someone is late, And so I wait; A minute, two or ten; To me the cost, Is good time lost That never comes again. He does not care How I shall fare, Or what my loss shall be; His tardiness Is selfishness And basely rude to me. My boys, be spry, The moments fly; Meet every date you make. Be weather fair Or foul, be there In time your place to take. And girls, take heed, And work with speed; Each task on time begin; On time begun, And wor...
A boy sat down, he looked so sad his toy had gone apart He tried to fix it, but too bad! - he just wasn't that smart. "Oh Father, help me!" was his cry, "please fix this toy for me!" "My pleasure, son", the quick reply as he came close to see. The boy bowed down and tried anew, each time with greater zeal But as the night drew close he knew his failure was too real. He then looked up and cried again; "My Father! Don't you care? You t...
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, When the road you're trudging seems all uphill, When funds are low and the debts are high, And you want to smile but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest if you must, but don't you quit. Life is queer with its twists and turns, As every one of us sometimes learns, And many a failure turns about, When he might have won if he'd stuck it out. Don't give up, though the pace seems slow - You may succe...
Last eve I passed beside a blacksmith's door And heard the anvil ring the vesper chime; When looking in, I saw upon the floor, Old hammers worn with beating years of time. "How many anvils have you had," said I, "To wear and batter these hammers so?" "Just one," said he; then with a twinkling eye, "The anvil wears the hammers out, you know." And so, I thought, the anvil of God's Word, For ages, skeptics blows have beat upon; Yet, thou...
'Twas battered and scarred, And the auctioneer thought it hardly worth his while To waste his time on the old violin, but he held it up with a smile. "What am I bid, good people", he cried, "Who starts the bidding for me?" "One dollar, one dollar, Do I hear two?" "Two dollars, who makes it three?" "Three dollars once, three dollars twice, going for three," But, No, From the room far back a gray bearded man Came forward and pic...
God loves you and me He died upon the tree He shed His blood on Calvary That we all may be free Free from eternal death Free from sin and shame Free to live forever To call upon God's name We can call in time of trouble He'll listen when we're sad He'll be there when we need him To save us from the bad. God loves you so very much Accept Him now today Kneel down and close your eyes And this is what you say: I am sorry for my sin Forgive me Lord today I wa...
I am with you when things are going good, when the way is bright and clear, I am with you my child when life looks bleak, and your vision is blurred with tears. I am with you when Happiness fills your heart, when the sun is shining bright, I am by you're side when you feel alone, and you're surrounded by darkest night. I am with you when you have many friends, when others for you care, I am always with you when you're alone, your loneliness to share. I am with you w...
