Through them to live again!
For hopes of joys to be
Eternally,
With trustful souls remain
And ease their pain.

WHATSOEVER
(Jeremiah 1-7)
How much it says! this little word;
'Tis fraught with meaning true;
And yet, how oft I pass it o'er
In all I say or do.
'Tis fraught with meaning true;
And yet, how oft I pass it o'er
In all I say or do.
The Father in His blessed Word,
In giving a command,
Repeats it as to me He speaks,—
Shall I not understand?
In giving a command,

Shall I not understand?
"On whatsoever errand sent
'Tis thither thou shouldst go;
Or whatsoever I thee tell
Let others also know."
'Tis thither thou shouldst go;
Or whatsoever I thee tell
Let others also know."
In mine own way I think to serve;
Is not my wisdom nought?
Whene'er my life well spent would be
God's will must first be sought.
Is not my wisdom nought?
Whene'er my life well spent would be
God's will must first be sought.
In whatsoe'er I do, His praise,
His praise in all I say,
And then—a peace beyond all ken
That shall not pass away.
His praise in all I say,
And then—a peace beyond all ken
That shall not pass away.
