A SONG OF THANKSGIVING
Saints are God's flowers, fragrant souls That His own hand hath planted,
Not in some far- off heavenly place, Or solitude enchanted,
But here and there and everywhere, In lonely field, or crowded town, God sees a flower when He looks down.
One such I knew, - and had the grace To thank my God for knowing:
The beauty of his quiet life Was like a rose in blowing,
So fair and sweet, so all-complete And all unconscious, as a flower, That light and fragrance were his dower.
Vow to keep his life alive In deeds of pure affection,
So that his love shall find in them A daily resurrection;
A constant prayer that they may wear Some touch of that supernal light With which he blossoms in God's sight.
/Proverb3
-Henry Van Dyke
The Reverend Mr. L.M. Tobin, former Pastor of this Church, regrets so much that he cannot be here at this hour by virtue of his having to be in Chicago. I'm sure his prayers and best wishes for God's abiding presence with the bereaved are his today.
God bless him also on his journey and for his safe
return.
