A GRATEFUL HEART IS NEVER SILENT

JAMES ROTHWELL BATTERSBY

A grateful heart a fortress is,
A stanch and rugged tower,
Where God's omnipotence, revealed,
Girds man with mighty power.

This verse from a much-loved hymn (Christian Science Hymnal, No. 3) states a great fact, indicating as it does that gratitude both strengthens man and provides him with power. This power, which is man's by reflection, can always be expressed in a way which will also help others to be grateful and gain more spiritual strength.
