ONE OF THE SWEET OLD CHAPTERS
One of the sweet old chapters,
After a day like this -
The day brought tears and troubles.,
The evening brought no kiss,
Nor rest in the arms I long for -
Rest and refuge and home;
Grieved and lonely and weary,
Until the Book I come.
One of the sweet old chapters
That always will avail,
So full of heavenly comfort,
When earthly comforts fail.
A sweet and blessed message
From God to His children dear,
So rich in precious promises,
So full of love and cheer.
One of the sweet old chapters,
When comes the lonely night,
When all things earthly fail us;
And tears have dimmed our sight,
’Tis only can relieve us,
A message from above,
Then we can rest so sweetly,
In faith, and hope, and love.
