"The uncompromisingly righteous shall flourish like the palm tree,

May you rest peacefully in the welcoming arms of the Master.
"It is because of the Lord's mercy and loving-kindness that we are not consumed,
because His tender compassions fail not. They are new every morning;
great and abundant is Your stability and faithfulness."
(Lamentations 3:22-23)
Again Thy glorious sun doth rise,
I praise Thee, O my Lord;
With courage, strength, and hope renewed,
I touch the joyful chord.
On good and evil, Lord, Thy sun
Is rising as on me;
Let me in patience and in love
Seek thus to be like Thee.
May I in virtue and in faith,
And with Thy gifts content;
Rejoice beneath Thy covering wings,
Each day in mercy sent.
Safe with Thy counsel in my work,
Thee, Lord, I'll keep in view,
And feel that still Thy bounteous grace
Is every morning new.
"Again Thy Glorious Sun Doth Rise"
(1814)

"But you, Bethlehem Ephratah, you are little to be among the clans of Judah;
yet out of you shall One come forth from Me Who is to be Ruler in Israel,
Whose goings forth have been from of old, from ancient days, eternity."
(Micah 5:2)
Comfort, comfort ye My people,
Speak ye peace, thus saith our God;
Comfort those who sit in darkness,
Mourning, 'neath their sorrow's load;
Speak ye to Jerusalem
Of the peace that waits for them;
Tell her that her sins I cover,
And her warfare now is over.
"The scepter or leadership shall not depart from Judah,
nor the ruler's staff from between his feet, until Shiloh,

and to Him shall be the obedience of the people."
(Genesis 49:10)
For the herald's voice is crying
In the desert far and near,
Bidding all men to repentance,
Since the kingdom now is here.
O that warning cry obey!
Now prepare for God a way!
Let the valleys rise to meet Him,
And the hills bow down to greet Him.
"Every valley shall be lifted and filled up, and
every mountain and hill shall be made low; and the
crooked and uneven shall be made straight and level,
and the rough places a plain.
(Isaiah 40:4)
Yea, her sins our God will pardon,
Blotting out each dark misdeed;
All that well deserved His anger
He will no more see nor heed.
She has suffered many a day,
Now her griefs have passed away,
God will change her pining sadness
Into ever springing gladness.
"You have turned my mourning into dancing for me;
You have put off my sackcloth and girded me with gladness."
(Psalm 30:11)
Make ye straight what long was crooked,
Make the rougher places plain;
Let your hearts be true and humble,
As befits His holy reign,
For the glory of the Lord
Now o'er the earth shall shed abroad,
And all flesh shall see the token
That His Word is never broken.
"Every word of God is tried and purified; He is a shield
