Excerpt from Heart Melodies of an Aged Pilgrim
"Thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the pit... For the grave cannot praise Thee, death can not celebrate Thee... The living, the living, he shall praise Thee, as I do this day." - Isa. xxxviii, 17-19.
He has brought me back from the borderland -
From the very gates of death -
Where I felt the touch of Death"s clammy hand,
And the chill of his icy breath.
He has given me back to your earnest prayers,
O friends, most loved and true!
He has seen you were loath from me to part -
He has work for me still to do.
And I gladly stay, since such is His will,
For He knows what"s best for me -
If He keeps me here - if He calls me hence -
It is still with Himself to be.
