(Noah’s Flood) – sin did not stop.
He will “baptize” earth again –
next time with fire – sin will stop.

When I shall reach the more excellent glory And all my trials are past I shall behold Him, O wonderful story! I shall be like Him at last We shall not wait till the glorious dawning Breaks on the vision so fair Now we may welcome the heavenly morning Now we His image may bear More and more like Him: repeat the blest story Over and over again Changed by His Spirit from glory to glory I shall be satisfied then I shall be like Him, I shall be like Him And in His beauty shall shine I shall be like Him, wond'rously like Him Jesus, my Savior divine William Anson Spencer was born this date, 9/6/1840 at Rock Island, IL.
