Hitherto hath the Lord helped us

14.2.15

I am not reading Boundless Light from beginning to end, but rather delving here and there.  This morning I have opened at A Song of Hope (p. 117).  I will find it on JSH-Online.com and copy it here (http://journal.christianscience.com/issues/1935/6/53-3)

It tells us how important it is to remember, when we are tried: “Hitherto hath the Lord helped us” (I Sam. 7:12).  God has helped us with previous challenges and we have experienced triumphs in healing.

It reminds me how good it is to offer testimonies of healing to the editors of the Christian Science periodicals and have them published. Then we help not only ourselves in the years to come, but possibly, countless others seeking exactly what we have to contribute.

A SONG OF HOPE

MINNY M. H. AYERS

From the June 1935 issue of The Christian Science Journal

Hitherto the Lord hath helped us
As we faltered on life's way.
Hitherto His arm hath held us;
Can we doubt His love today?

Hitherto hath Love sustained us—
Let us not forget the years
Filled with fruitage of His goodness;
Grateful praise should heal our fears.

Hitherto God's truth has led us
Safely through each hour of need,
For He changeth not nor faileth—
Precious promises to heed!

Hitherto hath Life unfolded
Man hid safe in God alway!
Hitherto the Lord hath helped us—
Trust in Him! rejoice today!
