- Samuel Johnson’s Dictionary of the English Language

Psalm 26:6-7 I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O LORD: That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.

See, in the woodland, the leaves turning crimson;
Hark, how they rustle and fall to the ground.
Autumn, bright autumn is smiling and glowing,
Showing the treasures that now may be found.

Praise the Creator who giveth us richly
All His good bounty to use and enjoy;
Lift up your hearts and your voices in singing,
Joyful thanksgiving the days should employ.

Prayer for A Friend - by Annie Johnson Flint

 

Cyclamen

Prayer For A Friend

Friend of the Changeless Love,

Be with my friend today;

I may not serve her need,

For I am far away;

But Thou canst be with her,

Forever at her side,

To give her strength and peace;

To comfort, guard and guide.

Her friend and mine, to Thee I pray,

Oh, be Thou with my friend today!

God of the Changeless Years,

Be with my friend for aye,

Through years that give with lavish hand

And years that take away;

For Thou art still the same

Though all around be strange,

Thy love and care remain

Though all beside may change;

All else may fail or pass away,

Oh, be Thou with my friend for aye!

Annie Johnson Flint

1 Samuel 12:23 Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you...

Proverbs 17:17 A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.

Numbers 6:24-26 The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.
