20th October

I look for my love and what do I see

I see an empty life

For love has flown to another

Where heav’n rules has gone my wife  

And I am content

I look for my love and what do I see

I see from sickness freed

To gain no pain a step so short

Yet none can wander for need

God’s call must first end

I look for my love and what do I see

I see a hand shall ask

What toil for goodness must do

Kingly purpose is my task

That race gains my r’ward

I look for my love and what do I see

I see a heart now full

With greater love and greater need

Shall work ’till harvest pulled

From fields so rich n’ripe

I look for my love and what do I see

I see the Lord Most High

With e’er a smile and joy within

With Him to walk then time does fly

Heav’ns gates wide open

John 4:35 ‘You know the saying, ‘Four

months between planting and harvest.’

But I say, wake up and look around.

The fields are already ripe for harvest.’ (NLT)
