Come and gather round His feet?

But is mightier than it seems;
’Tis our Father, and His kindness
Goes out far beyond our dreams.

Hymn: “God Is Still on the Throne” by Kittie Suffield


Have you started for glory and Heaven?
Have you left this old world far behind?
In your heart is the Comforter dwelling?
Can you say, “Praise the Lord, He is mine”?
Have the ones that once walked on the highway
Gone back, and you seem all alone?
Keep your eyes on the prize, for the home in the skies;
God is still on the throne.

And opened the Life-gate that all may go in.

When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,
Count your many blessings, name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.
