Coming Soon
In the glow of early morning ,
In the solemn hush of night ;
Down from heaven’s open portals ,
Steals a messenger of light ;
Whispering sweetly to my spirit ,
While the hosts of heaven sing !
This the wondrous thrilling story ,
Christ is coming , Christ my King .
Often I think I hear His footsteps ,
Stealing down the paths of time ;
And the future dark with shadows ,
Brightens with the hope sublime .
Sound the soul-inspiring anthem
Angel hosts , your harps attune ;
Earth’s long night is almost over ,
Christ is coming – coming soon .
Long we’ve waited , blest Redeemer ,
Waited for the first bright ray
Of the morning when sin and sorrow
At thy Presence flee away ;
But our virgil’s nearly over ;
Hope of heaven ,oh , priceless boon !
In the east the glow appearing ,
Christ is coming- coming soon .

The Things
The Things
I know three things must ever be ,
To keep a nation strong and free ;
One is a hearthstone bright and dear
With busy , happy loved ones near ;
One is ready heart and hand
To love and serve and keep the land ;
One is worn and beaten way
To where the people go to pray .
So long as these are kept alive ,
Nation and people will survive .
God keep them ,always everywhere ,
The hearth, the flag ,the place of prayer .

Teach America To Pray
Teach America To Pray
Lord , we would bow in need of Thee
Throughout this land from sea to sea ,
From where Atlantic’s breakers roar
To blue Pacific’s golden shore .
Oh , may we all in longing say ,
Lord , teach America to pray !
May our sins to Thee confess ,
Pleading in faith Thy righteousness ,
May we again come to Thy throne,
Returning that which is Thine own .
Our broken hearts before Thee lay .
Lord , teach America to pray !
May our good land be true and just ,
Her motto e’er “In God We Trust .”
May she be guided by Thy Word ,
Thy wisdom in her walls be heard .
May all who love her plead today ,
Lord , teach America to pray !
And as her flag unfurls on high
Its starry splendor to the sky ,
May we , in grateful thanks to Thee
Who gave to us this land so free ,
Preserve her freedom in Thy way .
Lord , teach America to pray !
To pray that cruel wars may cease ,
That to the world may come Thy peace ,
That ever , always , at Thy feet
We may attain communion sweet .
In loving trust to Thee we say ,
Lord , teach America to pray !

Alphabets
Alphabets
* Although things are not perfect
* Because of trial or pain,
* Continue in thanksgiving
* Do not begin to blame.
* Even when the times are hard
* Fierce winds are bound to blow.
* God is forever able,
* Hold on to what you know!
* Imagine life without His love,
* Joy would cease to be.
* Keep thanking Him for all the things
* Love imparts to Thee.
* Move out of "Camp Complaining!"
* No weapon that is known
* On earth can yield the power
* Praise can do alone.
* Quit looking at the future;
* Redeem the time at hand;
* Start every day with worship--
* To "thank" is a command.
* Until we see Him coming,
* Victorious in the sky
* We'll run the race with gratitude
* Xalting God most high.
* Yes, there'll be good times and yes some will be bad, but...
* Zion waits in glory...where none are ever sad!
