 | Verses for Christmas and the New Year |  |
[Oh, who can reckon up]
Oh, who can reckon up
The drops of Life's strange cup,
The changes of our lot
Remembered or forgot.
The drops of Life's strange cup,
The changes of our lot
Remembered or forgot.
The noons and nights,
The shades and lights,
The ripples of the heart,
The comfort and the smart?
The shades and lights,
The ripples of the heart,
The comfort and the smart?
He only numbers them
Who counts each starry gem.
O God, in Thee we live and move;
Ah, leave us not without Thy love!
Who counts each starry gem.
O God, in Thee we live and move;
Ah, leave us not without Thy love!
