The New Year
I do not know, I cannot see
What God’s kind hand prepares for me,
Nor can my glance pierce through the haze
Which covers all my future ways;
But yet I know that o’er it all
Rules He who notes the sparrow’s fall.
I know the Hand that hath me fed
And through the year my feet hath led;
I know the everlasting arm
That hath upheld and kept from harm.

O merciful Father,
my hope is in thee!
O Gracious Redeemer,
deliver thou me!
My bondage bemoaning,
with sorrowful groaning,
I long to be free;
Lamenting, relenting
and humbly repenting,
O Jesu, my Saviour,
I languish for thee!
– Mary, Queen of Scots

Why these anxious human beings
Rush about and worry so.”
Said the Sparrow to the Robin:
“Friend, I think that it must be
That they have no heavenly Father

When I met the Master face to face.
I met Him and knew… Continue reading
God’s Unchanging Word
God’s Unchanging Word
For feelings come and feelings go,
And feelings are deceiving;
My warrant is the Word of God,
Naught else is worth believing.
Though all my heart should feel condemned
For want of some sweet token,
There is One greater than my heart
Whose Word cannot be broken.
I’ll trust in God’s unchanging Word
Till soul and body sever:
For, though all things shall pass away,
His Word shall stand forever.
– Martin Luther, 1483-1546
