“All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field: the grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the Word of our God shall stand forever,” Isaiah 40:6b-7.
“Let God be praised with reverence deep;
He daily comes our lives to steep
In bounties freely given.
God cares for us, our God is He;
Who would not fear His majesty
In earth as well as heaven?
Our God upholds us in the strife;
To us He grants eternal life,
And saves from desolation.
He hears the needy when they cry,
He saves their souls when death draws nigh,
This God is our salvation.”
