Come, Light Serene and Still - Show Us Thy Way
December 30.
O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself:
it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.
JEREMIAH 10, verse 23.
I will direct all his ways.
ISAIAH 45, verse 13.
Come, Light serene and still!
Our darkened spirits fill
With thy clear day:
Guide of the feeble sight,
Star of grief's darkest night,
Reveal the path of right,
Show us Thy way.
ROBERT the Second Of FRANCE.
There had been solemn appointed seasons in Anna's life,
when she was accustomed to enter upon a full and
deliberate survey of her business in this world. The
claims of each relationship, and the results of each
occupation, were then examined in the light of eternity.
It was then, too, her fervent prayer to be enabled to
discern the will of God far more perfectly, not only in
the indications given of it for her guidance through
each day's occupations, but as it might concern duties
not yet brought home to her conscience, and therefore
unprovided for in her life.
