God has allowed weak, whimsical man a choice:
In his Work (job hiring)
In his Wife
In his Wigwam –
Surely He allows him a “yes” or “no”
In his Eternal Welfare!

TRUE BELIEF

True belief for all who tread this sod,
Whether in creation, salvation, or in God,
Whether in yon pagan, or in you and me,
Is accepting – as fact – what we cannot see.

What a Friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry everything to God in prayer.
Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged; take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness; take it to the Lord in prayer.
Are we weak and heavy laden, cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge, take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do your friends despise, forsake you? Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In His arms He’ll take and shield you; you will find a solace there.
Blessed Savior, Thou hast promised Thou wilt all our burdens bear
May we ever, Lord, be bringing all to Thee in earnest prayer.
Soon in glory bright unclouded there will be no need for prayer
Rapture, praise and endless worship will be our sweet portion there.
Joseph Medlicott Scriven died this date, 8/10/1886 at Port Hope, Ontario. After his
fiancée drowned in Ireland (night before they were to marry) he moved to Canada. There he taught school and became engaged to Eliza Roche, in amazing coincidence, Eliza died shortly before their wedding. Yet Scriven could pen, “What a Friend We Have in Jesus”
