' t All day long His presence lingered, t All day long He stayed with me, t And we sailed in perfect calmness t On every troubled sea. Other ships were blown and bat– t er ed , Other ships were sore distressed, And the wind that seemed to blow them Brought to u s both peace and rest. ; Then I thou ght of other mornings. t With a deep r emor£e of mind, When I, too, had loosed the moor- . 1ngs t With His presence left behind. So I thinlc I know the secret, Learned by many a troubled way, t I must meet God in the morning, t If I want Him through the day. t O - Bishop Cushman : G~~----~----·····----~~~~G xocl H ,,r or·cl c1 11c1 a r ste 1 111 i11cl.
