“Any man can sing by day; but only he whose heart
has been tuned by the gracious hand of Jehovah can
sing in the darkness. The things of earth may
satisfy for the hours of prosperity; but only the
peace of God can give gladness in the darkness of
adversity.
God gives joy in sorrow; and when the
sad one sings through his tears, then the Lord comes
out to him with new and more tender assurances, so that
by his very hymn he is made more gladsome. That which is born
of trust rises in rapture.” – Wm. M. Taylor.
