There is joy in a smile that gives courage, There is joy in a word that brings power,There is joy in a faith that is child-like, There is "joy in the Lord" every hour.
I will truly rejoice, O my Saviour! I will radiate joy for Thy sake,That the sunshine may mellow the fruitage, And my world of Thy joy may partake.
Montclair, Feb., 1915.
SUFFICIENT GRACE.
Oh the glory of Love that casteth out fear!Oh the glory of Faith that brings certainty near!Oh the glory of Courage that nothing can kill!Oh the glory of Jesus, Whose presence can fillMy soul with Faith, Courage and Love!
VIRTUE.
It is not virtueTo be gifted of the Lord,But that is virtueWhich can use those giftsTo glorify the Giver—not the man.
It is not virtueTo be terror-proof,But that is virtueWhich can bring all fearUnder control of duty and of love.
