The Fall and The Glory

"Send forth, O God, Thy light and truth,
And let them lead me still,
Undaunted, in the paths of right,
Up to Thy holy hill...

Autumn Run

Terry Redlin

...Then to Thy altar will I spring,
And in my God rejoice;
And praise shall tune the trembling string,
And gratitude my voice.
O why, my soul, art thou cast down?
Within me why distressed?
Thy hopes the God of grace shall crown;
He yet shall make thee blessed.
To Him, my never failing Friend,
I bow, and kiss the rod;
To Him shall thanks and praise ascend,
My Savior and my God.

John Quincy Adams

(1841)

Sixth President of the

United States of America 

"When to the sessions

of sweet silent thought,

I summon up remembrance

of things past..."

 that it is the sweet, simple things of life

 which are the real ones after all.”

" Now thank we all our God,

 with heart and hands and voices,
Who wondrous things has done,

 in Whom this world rejoices;
Who from our mothers’ arms

 has blessed us on our way
With countless gifts of love, 

and still is ours today."

Martin Rinkart

"Praise and joy in the fall,

 My heart rejoices at it all!
