"STREAMS THAT MAKE GLAD".

for it was a Christian officer, who told me he had slept beneath a group of these interesting trees, so full of Scripture emblems, and on his waking he thought there was no difficulty in imagining the sound of a Hebrew word produced by the morning breeze sweeping through the long palm-leaves. To him its voice was "Ishi."—Hosea ii. 16.]
"STREAMS THAT MAKE GLAD THE CITY OF OUR GOD."
"Whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life."—John iv. 14.
"He that believeth on Me, as the Scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water."—John vii. 38.
Make me, Lord, as a fountain,
Spring from the depths below!
Far in channels of blessing
The waters of life may flow;
Soft as the night-dew falling,
Swift as the carrier dove,
Bearing my Master's message,
Telling my Saviour's love:
Spring from the depths below!
Far in channels of blessing
The waters of life may flow;
Soft as the night-dew falling,
Swift as the carrier dove,
Bearing my Master's message,
Telling my Saviour's love:
Springing up in the sunshine,
Glad in its dazzling light,
Cheering the heart-sick watcher,
Whispering songs in the night;
Loving the stars that lightened
Glad in its dazzling light,
Cheering the heart-sick watcher,
Whispering songs in the night;
Loving the stars that lightened
