"Hammom (sunny)-no matter what the circumstances of the way may be, the sky ought always to be clear; the heavens cannot fail us."-Numerical Bible, Notes on Joshua 19. F. W. G.
O sunny land beyond the skies,
To me thy portion give!
The throne of God is ever there,
And there my soul shall live!
O sunny land beyond the skies,
My spirit longs for thee;
Where I shall dwell with Christ, my Lord,
And His blest face shall see!
O weary way, O thorny road,
Which I must tread each day;
My Saviour trod thee long before,
And He will show the way!
Though rough the road and long the way,
My soul is not dismayed ;
I'll trust His strength, His power, His love;
I will not be afraid.
The sky is clear, the heavens prevail-
My soul, look up and sing!
My Father's God, and I the child
He shelters 'neath His wing.
O sky that's clear and heaven that's sure,
My soul looks up above;
It soars as does the singing lark,
To God whose heart is Love!
A. J. R.
