MY LIFE AND JOY.

By J. A. Powers

My life flows on in joyous song, I'm happy as can be, Because I know where'er I go My Lord goes there with me. I go to many a gloomy place, I blunder on my way, Because my head and not my heart Leads my poor feet astray. I have for life no anxious care; He gave and gives it me. Lord, be this every hour my prayer, To give it all to Thee. A sparrow is of little worth, But Thou dost note its fall; A mother's love is best on earth, But Thine surpasses all. There's many a burden comes to me Of sorrow and of care; For these my heart goes out to Thee In songs of praise and prayer; Because I know, come good or ill, As we poor mortals see, The worst can but fulfil Thy will, And all work good to me.
