THERE'S NOT A BIRD WITH LONELY NEST

HYMN FOR TODAY - Thursday July 3
===============================

There’s not a bird with lonely nest,
In pathless wood or mountain crest,
Nor meaner thing, which does not share,
O God, in Thy paternal care.

There’s not a being now accurst
Who did not taste thy goodness first;
And every joy the wicked see
Received its origin from thee.

Each barren crag, each desert rude,
Holds Thee within its solitude;
And Thou dost bless the wand’rer there,
Who makes his solitary prayer.
 
Baptist Wriothesley Noel
