LITTLE LOST LAMB
P salm 2 3 I was burdened with grief That day in the spring. My heart-strings were broken— I could not sing. I turned in my anguish To God’s holy Word His comfort I needed— I read with eyes blurred: “ I'll walk with you through The dark valley o f death; I’ll comfort you, strengthen you While you have breath.” A t once I was calm, And I looked up to see The holy Lord Jesus With eyes fixed on me. “ I am the Good Shepherd,” He tenderly said, “ The wee lamb I loaned you Has left his small bed, But he’s safe in My arms— A t peace he doth rest. I lovingly hold him Now, close to My breast. The wolf shall not touch him— I’ll keep him from harm; There’s no night in heaven, No cold—he’ll be warm. Here pastures are green And waters are still, And lambkins may frolic Each green-velvet hill. “ Your wee precious lambie Is so happy here, With nothing to hurt him, And nothing to fear. But, your little lost lamb Doth eagerly wait To welcome you Home A t the bright Golden Gate.’’ The words o f the Shepherd Brought warmth to my heart— An indwelling hope That shall never depart. Tho’ the years may be many— By faith I can see My child at the Gate With arms outstretched to me.

FADED MEMORIES Like fragile letters, yellow’d, old, Are faded memories; As one sorts through them, oftentimes, Rich blessings there he sees. I view the pictures once again Of roads I might have trod— That would have led to pitfalls, snares, Had it not been for God! Dark shadows often crossed my way, The path looked dim ahead; When sorrow’s tear would blind my eyes, He saw, He cared, He led!
