The Blessing of Cheerfulness

J.R. Miller

 

These things have I spoken unto you,
that in me ye may have peace.
In the world ye have tribulation: but be of good cheer,
I have overcome the world.

Jesus Christ


Some murmur when their sky is clear,
And wholly bright in view,
If one small speck of dark appear
In their great heaven of blue;
And some with thankful love are filled
If but one streak of light,
One ray of Gods good mercy, gild
The darkness of their night.

R. C. Trench


Every life is meant
To help all lives; each man should lie
For all men’s betterment.
