If we might only be simple enough to be true to this Jesus who died, during the remnant of waiting time that remains.
VI.—A CLEARING-UP STORM IN THE REALM
(Revelation, Chapters vi.-viii.)
"God Almighty! King of nations! earth Thy footstool, heaven Thy throne!
Thine the greatness, power, and glory, Thine the kingdom, Lord, alone!
Life and death are in Thy keeping, and Thy will ordaineth all:
From the armies of Thy heavens to an unseen insect's fall.
"Reigning, guiding, all-commanding, ruling myriad worlds of light;
Now exalting, now abasing, none can stay Thy hand of might!
Working all things by Thy power, by the counsel of Thy will.
Thou art God! enough to know it, and to hear Thy word: 'Be still!'
"In Thy sovereignty rejoicing, we Thy children bow and praise,
For we know that kind and loving, just and true, are all Thy ways.
While Thy heart of sovereign mercy, and Thy arm of sovereign might,
For our great and strong salvation in Thy sovereign grace unite."
—Frances Ridley Havergal.
