All the lessons He shall send Are the sweetest: And His training, in the end, Is completest. - Frances Ridley Havergal

Earthly joy can take but a bat-like flight, always checked, always limited, in dusk and darkness. But the love of Christ breaks through the vaulting, and leads us up into the free sky above, expanding to the very throne of Jehovah, and drawing us still upward to the infinite heights of glory.

Jesus, my life is Thine,
And ever more shall be
Hidden in Thee, For nothing can untwine
Thy life from mine.

Teach us, Master, how to give
All we have and are to Thee;
Grant us, Saviour, while we live,
Wholly, only Thine to be.
