January 21

When I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light unto me. Micah 7:8.

I've found a joy in sorrow,

A secret balm for pain,

A beautiful to-morrow

Of sunshine after rain.

'Tis Jesus, my portion forever,

'Tis Jesus, the First and the Last;

A help very present in trouble,

A shelter from every blast.

Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms. James 5:13.
