Rejoice in the Lord

SAMUEL JOHNSTONE MACDONALD

Rejoice! Again I say, Rejoice!But not alone with lute and voice;Nay, first know joy dwells in thine heart,For that thou hast in Truth thy part,Then love from out thy heart will glow,And all the world shall surely know,Not by thine anthems or thy creeds,Nor by thy words, but by thy deeds,Which testimony true affordThat thou hast been with Christ the Lord.

God's Works

GEORGE H. BURCHARD

The works of God beyond compare are great;Not merely mountain huge, and glacier stream,And stars, and sun with golden morning beam,—Although with joy these things we contemplate,Since all that truly is, Mind doth create,—But rather doth the Lord most gracious seemBecause His hand hath made the earth to teemWith blessings fitted to our needy state.
