Morning

This is the day the Lord hath made,Rejoice, be glad!This day I cannot be dismayed,Nor weak, nor sad.

Demonstration

In this deep stillness past our understanding,I turn from all material things to Thee.

The Time Is Now

Today is all I have; 'tis mortal dreamThat grieves for yesterday and seeks to findA tortured hope within tomorrow's realm.

Light

God made "the greater light to rule the day.

"A standard for the people"

Our Saviour lifted up the truthFor weary souls who groped;He taught and healed and comforted,In meekness strove and hoped.
