Selected Hymn

#53
Good old songs (Cayce book)
Click to hear tune
Ecstasy 7s and 6s

Sometimes a light surprises,  the Christian while he sings:
It is the Lord who rises  with healing in His wings
When comforts are declining,  He grants the soul again
A season of clear shining,  to cheer it after rain

Chorus
Oh, had I wings I would fly away and be at rest.
And I'd praise God in his bright abode.

In holy contemplation, We sweetly then pursue
The theme of God's salvation, And find it ever new:
Set free from present sorrow, We cheerfully can say,
Even let the unknown morrow bring with it what it may.

It can bring with it nothing, But He will bear us through;
Who gives the lilies clothing, Will clothe His people, too;
Beneath the spreading heavens, No creature but is fed;
And He who feeds the ravens, Will give His children bread.

Though vine nor fig-tree neither  their wanted fruit shall bear,
Tho' all the field should wither, Nor flocks nor herds be there;
Yet God the same abiding, His praise shall tune my voice;
For while in Him confiding I cannot but rejoice.

 .

Scriptural Verse

Notable Quotes: I truly believe that when a minister is sent out by the everlasting and ever blessed Spirit of the Lord to preach, and if that man will go preach a free gospel trusting in the Lord it is impossible for that man to return lacking. But I am made to wonder if the Spirit sends a man every time he goes." Elder Robert Harlan
