February 15

The Lord hath set apart him that is godly for himself. Psalms 4:3.

O sweet will of God! thou hast girded me round

Like the deep, moving currents that girdle the sea; With omnipotent love is my poor nature bound,

And this bondage to love sets me perfectly free.

He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom. Isaiah 40:11.
