I never knew how little things
As greater ones could be,
When sanctified by love for One
Who doth each effort see;
But now, a daily round of care
May win a victory.
As greater ones could be,
When sanctified by love for One
Who doth each effort see;
But now, a daily round of care
May win a victory.
I never knew; and still, dear Lord,
As through a glass I see,
And perfect light can only come
When I shall dwell with thee;
When in thy likeness I awake,
For all eternity,
As through a glass I see,
And perfect light can only come
When I shall dwell with thee;
When in thy likeness I awake,
For all eternity,
RAINBOW TINTS
Oh, think a happy thought,
Thy blessings number o'er;
The grateful heart so fraught
Will be, for thee, one more.
Thy blessings number o'er;
The grateful heart so fraught
Will be, for thee, one more.
Oh, smile a sunny smile,
'Twill chase dark clouds away;
'Twill shorten every mile
Thou treadest day by day.
'Twill chase dark clouds away;
'Twill shorten every mile
Thou treadest day by day.
Oh, speak in cheery tone,
For echoed is each word;
Not by thyself alone
Its joyousness is heard.
For echoed is each word;
Not by thyself alone
Its joyousness is heard.
