Morning Shalom

Knowing how you like music hear is an old old one that has a verse added

BE THOU MY VISION

Be Thou my vision,
O~ Lord of my heart;
Blessed Redeemer ~~
and Savior Thou art,
Thou my~~ best thought
by day or by night!
Waking or sleeping
Thy Presence my light.

Riches~ I heed not
nor mans empty praise,
THOU, art my inheritance
now and always~~,
Thou and Thou~ only
first in my heart,
High King of heaven,
my treasure thou art.

Lord, I come searching
for words to express~,
My adoration
of THY~ Holiness.
I am not worthy
to look on Thy~ face,
I would be worthless
were it not for Thy grace

BE THOU MY VISION~~ OH LORD OF MY HEART!!

Irish Folk hymm, words
by Mary E. Byrne and Ken Young

May it be a blessing to your day.

"Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set
time is come. For thy servants rake pleasure in her stones, and favour the dust thereof."

- Psalm 102:13, 14

A selfish man in trouble is exceedingly hard to comfort, because the springs of his
comfort lie entirely within himself, and when he is sad all his springs are dry. But a
large-hearted man full of Christian philanthropy, has other springs from which to supply
himself with comfort beside those which lie within. He can go to his God first of all, and
there find abundant help; and he can discover arguments for consolation in things
relating to the world at large, to his country, and, above all, to the church.

David in this Psalm was exceedingly sorrowful; he wrote, "I am like an owl of the
desert. I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top." The only way in
which he could comfort himself, was in the reflection that God would arise, and have
mercy upon Zion: though he was sad, yet Zion should prosper; however low his own
estate, yet Zion should arise. Christian man! learn to comfort thyself in God's gracious
dealing towards the church. That which is so dear to thy Master, should it not be dear
above all else to thee? What though thy way be dark, canst thou not gladden thine
heart with the triumphs of his cross and the spread of his truth? Our own personal
troubles are forgotten while we look, not only upon what God has done, and is doing
for Zion, but on the glorious things he will yet do for his church.

Try this receipt, O believer, whenever thou art sad of heart and in heaviness of spirit:
forget thyself and thy little concerns, and seek the welfare and prosperity of Zion.
When thou bendest thy knee in prayer to God, limit not thy petition to the narrow circle
of thine own life, tried though it be, but send out thy longing prayers for the church's
prosperity, "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem," and thine own soul shall be refreshed.
Spurgeon, Charles H.,
