Have faith in God –
On this side Jordan’s wave;
Have faith in God –
Above a lonely grave;
Have faith in God –
In Christ is power to save.
Have faith, dear friend, in God.

Little Is Much

Words and Music by Kittie Louise Suffield, 1884-1972

    Better the little that the righteous have than the wealth of many wicked; for the power of the wicked will be broken, but the Lord upholds the righteous. Psalm 37:16, 17.

In the harvest field now ripened
There’s a work for all to do;
Hark! the voice of God is calling
To the harvest calling you.

Does the place you’re called to labor
Seem too small and little known?
It is great if God is in it,
And He’ll not forget His own.

Are you laid aside from service,
Body worn from toil and care?
You can still be in the battle,
In the sacred place of prayer.

When the conflict here is ended
And our race on earth is run,
He will say, if we are faithful,
“Welcome home, My child—-well done!”

Chorus:
Little is much when God is in it!
Labor not for wealth or fame.
There’s a crown, and you can win it,
If you go in Jesus’ Name.
