The Hand That Gently Draws Night's Veil...

Happy first day of the final week of November 2025!!(can you believe it?!!) Ps.145:17-18The LORD is righteous in all His waysand kind in all His deeds.The LORD is near to all who call on Him,to all who call out to Him in truth. The Hand that gently draws night’s veil from welkin windows dimmed at duskSustains redemption’s gleaming grail; shadows recede and morning breaksWhere what is done none can undo and what yet waits is beyond usBut what Today grants me and you are mercies renewed for our sakes The Hand that none can circumvent delivers us from night’s dark huesWhere today’s laughter and lament are waiting to cheer and dismayThis is the day the Lord has made; we give account for how we useIts fleeting moment-promenade falling like stars soon swept away The Hand that none can see sustains preordained grants of joy and griefBeyond reason Logic explains, God orchestrates love’s perfect willWhere what we see and understand are not enough to gauge beliefBehold! God’s goodness sweeps the land in grand persuasion to Be Still The Hand that leads us if we ask and calms the tempest if we trustWill help us in each humble task, will keep us in His faithful careWill hold us in faith’s holy fight, will shepherd stray-prone wanderlustWill shield us from pitfalls of sight and guard us from the Tempter’s snare The Hand that gently draws night’s veil from nocturne-nestled countrysidePresides with love that does not fail regardless of perception’s wreathWhere what we want He will appraise and what we need He will provideAs morning breaks and Mercy lays His Hand above, beside, beneath Janet Martin Heb.13:20-21Now may the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, equip you with every good thing to do His will. And may He accomplish in us what is pleasing in His sight through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
