God is Love

God is Love! sweet bells are ringing;God is Love! Heaven's choir is singing;Flowers of earth on hill and plainEcho back the sweet refrain,"God is Love.

Be Careful

In speaking of a person's faults,Pray don't forget your own;Remember, those in homes of glassShould never throw a stone.

The Course of the Day

New mercies, new blessings, new light on thy way;...

Havergal

New mercies, new blessings, new light on thy way;New courage, new hope, and new strength for each day;New notes of thanksgiving, new chords of delight,New praise in the morning, new songs in the night;New wine in thy chalice, new altars to raise;New fruits for thy Master, new garments of praise;New gifts from His treasures, new smiles from His face;New streams from the Fountain of infinite grace;New stars for thy crown, and new tokens of love;New gleams of the glory that waits thee above;New light of His countenance full and unpriced;All this be the joy of thy new life in Christ!
