.
God be with you in the Springtime
When the violets unfold,
And the buttercups and cowslips
Fill the fields with yellow gold;
In the time of apple blossoms,
When the happy bluebirds sing,
Filling all the world with gladness
-
God be with you in the Spring!
God be with you in the Summer,
When the sweet June roses blow,
When the bobolinks are laughing
And the brooks with music flow;
When the fields are white with
daisies
And the days are glad and long
-
God be with you in the Summer,
Filling all your world with song.
God be with you in the Autumn,
When the birds and flowers have
fled,
And along the woodland pathways
Leaves are falling, gold and red;
When the Summer lies behind you,
In the evening of the year -
God be with you in the Autumn,
Then to fill your heart with cheer.
God be with you in the Winter,
When the snow lies deep and white,
When he sleeping fields are silent
And the stars gleam cold and bright.
When the hand and heart are tired
With life's long and weary quest
-
God be with you in the Winter,
Just to guide you into rest.
JULIAN S. CUTLER
PSALM 23
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall
not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green
pastures:
he leadeth me beside the still
waters.
He restoreth my soul:
he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness
for His name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the
valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil:
for thou art with me;
thy rod and thy staff they comfort
me.
Thou preparest a table before me
in the presence of mine enemies:
thou anointest my head with oil;
my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall
follow me all the days of my life:
and I will dwell in the house of
the Lord for ever.
