WE SHALL LISTEN O Lord We shall listen To the quietness Of thy voice We shall listen For those calm Unspoken words That shall cause Our hearts to melt We shall listen And shall hear Of thy goodness And thy grace We shall listen We shall learn And we shall love

EARLY SPRING Can spring come to early For those who have had A bitter winter Where frost has chilled hopes And frozen warm relationships Or stilled famililar voices? Can spring come too soon? We think not Can spring with its resurrection Come too quickly And wipe away stained cheeks Or mend broken hearts Or calm troubled souls? Ah, we think not. Come spring, come early Come soon HELP US MAKE OUR DAY GO THROUGH "An open hand, an easy shoe And a hope to make the day go through" --Author Unknown When dark perils thick surround us At the dawning of the day Give us words to greatly cheer us As our trust in thee holds sway Turn our gray, gray skies to blue Help us make our day go through Give us Lord, thy calm assurance Lead us gently by thy hand Quit us with thy spirit's armour Let his promptings be our command When risks are high and friends are few Help us make our day go through Let thy hand, O Lord, be open Give our foot an easy shoe Give us hope that produces courage To do the things we ought to do Wake us to thy loving kindness And help us make our day go through (Written on August 31, 1978) SOMEONE IN MY CORNER 577 There is Someone in my corner He’s there at every round When the crowd is pulling for me And even when I’m down. At the tugging of the clapper And the sounding of the bell There is no fear within me He has assured me all is well. I can withstand the vicious onslaught Fend off each and every blow For the Savior’s in my corner As I swing against the foe. In this winner take all bout I may lose a round or two But I’ll still have Him in my corner When my life on earth is through. (Written on January 18, 1979) THE GREAT AMULET “To love is the great Amulet that makes this world a garden.” -Robert Louis Stevenson Thy love O Lord What great and gracious Charm this be That wards off all The evil one may send And purchases for us Thy calm serenity. Hang gently round our necks O charm of fragrance sweet Make of this evil world A refuge and retreat And cause the winds Of pain and sorrow Waft rose petals At our feet. THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD The Lord is my shepherd I’m merely a sheep He gives me green pastures In which I may sleep He leads me beside still waters And restoreth my soul He nurtures me while young And tends me when I’m old Tho’ I walk through death’s valley No evil shall I fear For His rod and staff comfort me I feel His Spirit near He prepares for me a feast In the midst of all my woes And gives me joy unspeakable In the presence of my foes. He anoints my head with oil Fills my cup up past the rim I’m glad He is my Shepherd I’m glad I follow Him. His mercy and His goodness Continually follow me Oh how I praise my Shepherd His touch hath set me free. NO MATTER HOW DARK THE DAY No matter how dark the day There is a will There is a way No matter how dark the hour There is a spirit There is a power No matter how dark the night There is a star There is a light No matter how dark the place There is a Savior There is grace No matter how dark the path trod There is a deliverer There is God AT WINTERTIME Perhaps it is not Too difficult To be children again If we truly wish to be If our hearts are right With God Then our homes Shall become our havens And our foes Shall become our friends And our doubts Shall become our hopes And there shall be A new spirit in the land At wintertime |
