TAPS


Day is done, gone the sun
From the lake, from the hill,
From the sky. All is well,
 Safely rest. God is nigh.
Thanks and praise for our days
’Neath the sun, ’neath the stars,
’Neath the sky. As we go,
 This we know. God is nigh.

" There's no disappointment in Heaven"

There's no disappointment in Heaven, No weariness, sorrow, no pain, No hearts that are bleeding and broken, No song with a minor refrain. The clouds of our earthly horizon Shall never appear in the sky. But all will be sunshine and gladness With never a sob nor a sigh."

 

 

 

The Twenty-Third Psalm

 

The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul. He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil: my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
