FAITH.
How beautiful this earth, replete With sweetest melody!My heart with blissful thought o'erflows, Purest and holiest joy.The world is bright; noon-day and night Alike bring joy to me.I trust in Him who fills with light Time and eternity.
Thou dost in love afflict, O God! Thine is impartial love.Never in anger falls the rod; Thou wisely dost reprove,Pointing us upward to Thy springs Of truth and love divine,Lifting our thoughts to nobler things, Making us truly Thine.
