Encouragement from God in the middle of a difficult time

MISSIONARY HYMN
From Greenland’s icy mountains, From India’s coral strand, Where Afric’s sunny fountains Roll down their golden sand, From many an ancient river, From many a palmy plain, They call us to deliver Their land from error’s chain. What though the…
DOVE, LEAF, AND BOW
Sweet Dove! the softest, steadiest plume In all the sunbright sky, Brightening in ever-changeful bloom As breezes change on high; — Sweet Leaf! the pledge of peace and mirth, “Long sought, and lately won,” Blest increase of reviving Earth, When…
