***** Trust in the Lord...!

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths." (Proverbs 3:5-6)

We have ever to bear in mind that our one great business is, to obey, and leave results with God. It may please Him to permit His servants to see striking results, or He may see fit to allow them to wait for that great day that is coming, when there will be no danger of our being puffed up by seeing any little fruit of our testimony. It is our plain and bound duty to tread that bright and blessed path indicated for us by the commandments of our precious and adorable Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. May God enable us, by the grace of His Holy Spirit, to do so. May we cleave to the truth of God with purpose of heart, utterly regardless of the opinions of our fellow-men who may charge us with narrowness, bigotry, intolerance, and such like. We have just to go on with the Lord!

"...ETERNAL WEIGHT OF GLORY"

The glory

1. The glory shines before me,
I cannot linger here;
Though clouds may darken o’er me,
My Father’s house is near:
If through this barren desert
A little while I roam,
The glory shines before me,
I am not far from home.

2. Beyond the storms I ‘m going,
Beyond this vale of tears,
Beyond the floods o’erflowing,
Beyond the changing years:
I’m going to the better land,
By faith long since possessed:
The glory shines before me,
For this is not my rest.

3. The Lamb is there the glory!
The Lamb is there the light!
Affliction’s grasp but tore me
From phantoms of the night:
The voice of Jesus calls me,
My race will soon be run;
The glory shines before me,
The prize will soon be won.

4. The glory shines before me,
I know that all is well;
My Father’s care is o’er me,
His praises I would tell:
The love of Christ constrains me,
His blood hath washed me white;
Where Jesus is in glory,
‘Tis home, and love, and light.
