A Song For My Friends

I wish I knew the tune to this....maybe some day I will hear it!!

Summer Skies Are Glowing


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Summer skies are glowing
Over land and sea;
Happy light is flowing,
Bountiful and free.
Every thing rejoices
In the mellow rays;
All earth's thousand voices
Swell the psalm of praise.

God's free mercy streameth
Over all the world,
And His banner gleameth,
Everywhere unfurled.

Broad and deep and glorious
As the heaven above,
Shines in might victorious
His eternal love.

Lord, upon our blindness
Thy pure radiance pour;
For Thy loving-kindness
Makes us love Thee more;

And, when clouds are drifting
Dark across our sky,
Then, the veil uplifting,
Father, be Thou nigh.

We will never doubt Thee,
Though Thou veil Thy light;
Life is dark without Thee;
Death with Thee is bright.


Light of light! shine o'er us
On our pilgrim way;
Go Thou still before us
To the endless day.

What encouraging words! I'm sure there would be many tunes it could be sung to...I was too lazy to leave my chair and check the back of my hymnbook for meter information...But one tune I could sing it to was the tune of "There Is a Redeemer (Jesus God's Own Son"). DO you know that one? Try it! It works.

It's a pretty basic meter, I can tell, and there should be several tunes you could interchange and they'd work.

I KNOW the song, but the girls are at the piano playing ANOTHER song, and I can't hum it! Thanks for making me think that direction. If you come up with something else, let me know! I thought the words were beautiful.

Don't Be Idle

This is Zephyr. She is the most discontent, unhappy cat I've ever seen in my life. She is selfish plain and simple. All she can think about is HER belly. This is not done in silence. When I get up (early), she's been up for hours wasting away. She's died of starvation 8 times. Don't be like Zephyr. The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment by Jeremiah Burroughs   "Who are the men who are most discontented?  but idle persons-- for they lie around and find fault with everything."   (page 50-51) Zephyr is an unhappy cat. Not a happy camper.   How about you? IDLE lazy, slothful, work-shy (ha ha) shiftless, inactive, sluggish (like a bad drain) without purpose DISCONTENT dissatisfaction with circumstances displeasure Have you no weeds to pull? No list to make or finish? No bread to bake? Nothing to mend or fix? No corner to clean? Nothing to learn? No letter to write? No project to fin...
