I will give you the words of a sweet little song that I have recently
heard sung by some little people who live in Golden Nest. I cannot bring
to you the melody which accompanied the lines, though I wish I could do
so, it was so very sweet and produced such a happy, joyous feeling in my
heart. Could you only listen to the songs the little angels sing in
their homes of light, I am sure you would never be naughty again; for
you would try to be gentle and kind, so as to ever attract them to your
side. But, dear children, we all love you, and will try to make you
happy every day. And now for the song, which is entitled
HEAVENLY LOVE.
Joy! joy! The light of morning
Rolls in gladness on its way,
Flooding all the world with glory
On this happy, peaceful day.
So the love of God our Father
Bathes the universe in light;
Reaching down through all the darkness,
It dispels the gloom of night.
· · · · ·
Joy! joy! The heavenly splendor
Of our Father’s tender power
Gladdens every weary spirit,
In its saddest, loneliest hour.
By-and-bye the holy radiance
Shall illumine every life,
And each soul shall rise in triumph
Far above all pain and strife.
Joy! joy! The love of angels
Softly flows from heaven to earth,
Blessing with its matchless power
All the ills of mortal birth,—
Heavenly love that brings its bearer
Down with messages of peace
To assuage the pains of mortals,
And to make their joys increase.
Joy! joy! The light is spreading,
We may bask within its rays,
Let us gather up its sunbeams
While we chant our songs of praise.
Let us bear the heavenly splendor
Of this deathless, boundless love
Unto those who mourn in sorrow
For their friends who dwell above;
Let us bless the weary-hearted,
And enfold their lives with love!
We will now leave Golden Nest and its happy, busy inmates, and travel on
a little further in our search for the children who dwell in the
Summer-land. Soon we reach Rocky Nook, where a number of little folks
live who are growing strong and beautiful under the healthful breezes
that ever blow around that favored spot.
