The Joys Which Earth Cannot Afford

May the grace of Christ our Savior

and the Father's boundless love,

with the Holy Spirit's favor,

rest upon us from above.


Thus may we abide in union

with each other and the Lord,

and possess, in sweet communion,

joys which earth cannot afford.


Amen.

-John Newton

What a beautiful evening benediction for a friend! I’m glad you give the you tube videos....I’m still enjoying Ethel Waters singing His Eye is on the Sparrow!

Thank you, Kathryn, isn't it wonderful to have a memory and keep these beautiful words in our minds (or at least the tune!)

So many writers all through time with wonderful words to encourage us in our walk with the LORD. I find I must post them!
