REJOICE

By Mrs. M. F. Rowe

MRS. M. F. ROWE.
Listen, O Christian, to the Master's voice: “Rejoice alway; again I say, Rejoice.” Phil. 4:4.
Yes, so I may, when all is bright before. Nay, but Christ says, “Rejoice for evermore.” 1 Thess. 5:16.
How, when the storm-cloud lowers darkly 'round, Under His sheltering wings may joy be found? Ps. 63:7.
When tempest-tossed and driven far from land, Fear not; He holds the billows in His hand. Isa. 40:12.
Can I rejoice when I my weakness see? — The Lord's own joy thy very strength shall be. Neh. 8:10.
When harvests, flocks, and fruits untimely die, Rejoice; the Lord will all thy need supply. Heb. 3:17, 18.
Can I rejoice when other hearts are sad? — The upright heart may well be light and glad. Ps. 97:11.
When pressed by busy cares that will annoy? — Cares vanish in the fullness of His joy. Ps. 16:11.
Fullness of joy! Can this indeed be mine? — The Lord himself has promised; it is thine. John 16:24.
When strength and senses fail, life's lamp burns dim, Yet will the Lord sustain; rejoice in Him. Acts 20:24.
When waiting in death's dark and lonely vale, Rejoice e'en here; His presence will not fail. Ps. 23:4.
Then in the glory of eternal day, With joy unspeakable, rejoice for aye. Jude 24.
