Although My Memory's Fading, I Remember Two

If The Lord Be With Us, We Have No Cause Of Fear. His Eye Is Upon Us, His Arm Over Us, His Ear Open To Our Prayer - His Grace Sufficient, His Promise Unchangeable.

Christ Has Taken Our Nature Into Heaven To Represent Us; And Has Left Us On Earth, With His Nature, To Represent Him.

Time, By Moments, Steals Away, First The Hour, And Then The Day; Small The Daily Loss Appears, Yet It Soon Amounts To Years

I Look Upon Prayer-meetings As The Most Profitable Exercises (excepting The Public Preaching) In Which Christians Can Engage. They Have A Direct Tendency To Kill A Worldly, Trifling Spirit, And To Draw Down A Divine Blessing Upon All Our Concerns, Compose Differences, And Enkindle (at Least Maintain) The Flames Of Divine Love Amongst Brethren.

I Compare The Troubles Which We Have To Undergo In The Course Of The Year To A Great Bundle Of Sticks, Far Too Large For Us To Lift. But God Does Not Require Us To Carry The Whole At Once. He Mercifully Unties The Bundle, And Gives Us First One Stick, Which We Are To Carry Today, And Then Another, Which We Are To Carry Tomorrow, And So On. This We Might Easily Manage, If We Would Only Take The Burden Appointed For Us Each Day; But We Choose To Increase Our Troubles By Carrying Yesterday's Stick Over Again Today, And Adding Tomorrow's Burden To Our Load, Before We Are Required To Bear It.
