Songs of the Night

“In the night his song shall be with me.”
— Ps. 42:8

And oh I how deep the peace when, nature gone,
Thy Spirit fills the soul, strengthened with might,
With love divine; and God as love is known!
Lord I keep my soul, and guide my steps aright.
. … … … … .
Praise be for ever His who gives songs by night.

“The most important victory has often come when we have been most afraid of being beaten; the brightest songs when an evil day has forced us to lean on God.”
