I want to close with this little poem entitled “Jesus” written by Charlotte S.C. Panton.

Lonely? No, not lonely

With Jesus standing by;

His presence always cheers me,

I know that He is nigh.

Friendless? No, not friendless

Since Jesus is my friend;

I change, but he remaineth

True, faithful to the end.

Sadden’d? No, not sadden’d

By scenes of deepest woe;

I should be if I knew not

That Jesus loves me so.

Tired? No, not tired;

While leaning on His breast

My soul has full enjoyment

Of His eternal rest.
